 AIn California, legal cases can be brought for personal injury. Although there is no special definition for “serious personal injury,” these type of injuries are generally thought to have long term or permanent consequences that involve physical, psychological or economic disability or a significant impact on a person’s life.
Most broken bones, herniated discs, significant burns and injuries involving surgery would fall into the category of “serious.”
Injuries to the brain or spinal cord are almost always considered “serious” personal injuries. Certainly the loss of a limb or an essential organ would qualify. |
