No one ever begins their day expecting an accident, yet each year, nearly 40 million personal injuries requiring medical treatment occur in the US. While car accidents are the most common cause of personal injuries, they aren’t the only way injuries occur. Suffering a significant injury can be traumatic, but when the injury happens due to the negligence, recklessness, or wrongdoing of someone else it’s particularly distressing and may be a cause for a personal injury claim or lawsuit. The most common causes of personal injuries include:
Some injuries are catastrophic and cause serious economic and non-economic damages to the injured person and their family. Even less serious injuries may require medical treatment, expensive medications, appointments, follow-ups, and lost time from the workplace. When the injury occurs due to someone else’s actions or inaction, that person is responsible for compensating you for your damages—the physical and financial consequences of the injury. Compensation typically comes through the at-fault party’s insurance policy.

While it’s true that financial compensation doesn’t undo an injury, it can support access to the best medical care and minimize financial concerns throughout the recovery process. In many cases, it also helps the injured person and their family achieve a sense of justice.
Civil law in Arizona recognizes two types of damages: economic and non-economic. In many cases, non-economic damages can be even more harmful than the economic ones associated with an accident. Examples of both types of damages include the following:
