Personal injuries come in all shapes and forms. Some of the different injuries come on quickly such as being a victim of a slip and fall accident or being in a car crash. Another kind of personal injury is the chronic and long term. This type of injury is usually seen in negligence and exposure to asbestos.

First let us talk a little about the fast and acute aspects of certain types of personal injuries. The car accident is one of the most widely known forms of personal injury that there is. The reason that this is, is that almost every country in the world has cars and where there are cars there are accidents, and where there are accidents there are people with medical bills, auto shop bills, time away from work, and pain and suffering that need to be covered and this is where the personal injury attorney steps in and files a claim. Some of the main causes of personal injury in a car wreck are whiplash, broken bones, concussions, sprains, gouges, and comas.

Another fast and acute personal injury comes in the form of the "slip and fall". This injury can happen very easily if there is a slippery surface on the ground such as oil, or a spill on a tile floor. All that it takes to slip is just one tiny miss step. Which is precisely why companies will usually are very strict about clean ups and spills. They know that one spill could hypothetically cost them millions. This is also why companies are usually ready and willing to settle outside of court as long as you have your personal injury attorney present.

Now let us take a look at the other side of the spectrum of personal injury, the chronic and reoccurring. Negligence and abuse fall into this category. There are many types of negligence and abuse including nursing homes, day cares, and even hospitals. The most common however are nursing homes and day cares. The reason for this being that the people who deal with the elderly and the young are often under paid and under trained. Thus resulting in anger and frustration.

Another type of long term personal injury is mesothelioma. This is almost always caused by chronic exposure to asbestos. If you or someone that you know has this cancer and it is believed to be caused by a workplace or other facility then it would be highly advised to seek the professional council of a personal injury attorney preferably one who only deals with mesothelioma cases.

There are many different types of personal injury cases that a lawyer who specializes in personal injury will take besides the above mentioned, so of them include prediction errors, wrongful death and faulty products
