In simple words, a person can claim compensation for any injury that did not happen because of his own mistake.
The types of injuries sustained might be widely classified.
Broadly, we can categorise them into types of injuries from the type of accident, like car accident injuries, boat injuries, injuries from accidents at work, etc.
Within these, the injuries can be categorised into physical injuries, psychological repercussions of the accident, or the disability of a person to work or lead the same quality of life as he/she did before the accident.
Physical injuries are the most tangible.
These include wounds, bruises, fractures, and concussions that happen because of the accident.
In treating these injuries, you would have to pay hefty hospital bills along with buying prescription drugs.
This might cost you a great deal.
You can make a claim to cover your medical expenses that are occurring or occurred because of the injuries sustained in the accident.
Sometimes, the injury may leave you in a condition when you can no longer go to work.
For example, if a person's leg or hip is fractured, that person would not be able to go to work for at least a few months.
That might cost him the salary of these few months, which can be claimed for.
After all, it is pretty depressing having a broken bone without the additional stress of leading a pauper's life as a result too.
Then there are injuries that might leave a person unable to go to work for the rest of his life.
Such injuries may include partial paralyses, head injuries that interfere with a person's memory and skill, or amputation of some sort that does not allow the person to use the skills he needs for his job.
All these are very serious.
If such a catastrophe occurs, it is a huge trauma for everybody involved and his or her families.
Imagine their distress if the injured was also the sole breadwinner of the family.
A claim for personal injury might at least relieve them of such severe financial crises.
Besides the physiological implications of an injury from an accident, a claim may also be for the psychological stress that has come with the accident.
Sometimes, people in a bus accident may not be hurt, but might have seen all the other passengers being injured or dying.
This can put a lifelong trauma on their minds and they are indeed eligible for compensation claims since psychological problems may affect them very gravely.
Some people develop serious mental disorders, or phobias because of their involvement in an accident in some way.
Again, this reduces their potential to live as normal productive citizens and if they do not claim for compensation, they would lose in today's urban strive for the survival of the fittest.
In conclusion, you can claim compensation for any injury, physical or psychological if it brings a big financial crisis with it and/or significantly reduces the quality of your life.
