The process of recovering from a personal injury—and the extent of the damage that a personal injury can do in a person’s life—are often not fully understood by those who have not experienced their own personal injury or that of a loved one first-hand.
First, you have the injury itself. While “personal injury” as a term sometimes sounds relatively small-scale, the injuries involved are often incredibly devastating. As many personal injuries occur during traumatic impact accidents, the damage done to the body can be immense and complex. From shattered bones to muscle and nerve damage to back and spinal injury all the way to traumatic brain injury, limb loss, and paralysis, these injuries are often very severe.
Moreover, depending on the nature and severity of their injuries, personal injury survivors can require extensive treatment that can be very painful and both physically and emotionally taxing. These treatments may include invasive surgeries and grueling physical and occupational therapy regimens that can span weeks, months, or even years. In the end, you may not ever recover fully from a personal injury—you may be left with permanent disabilities, conditions like chronic pain and neuropathy, and less mobility and independence than you had before.

For many personal injury survivors, however, even the pain of recovery is overshadowed by pain of how much it costs. Personal injuries are often outrageously expensive. The costs of medical care and treatment, as well as any rehab and ongoing maintenance/monitoring often required by personal injury survivors, are easily high enough to bankrupt the vast majority of Americans. While some survivors may have some of their costs covered by insurance, coverage is not a given: insurance companies often do everything in their power to avoid paying out on claims, and in the meantime, the bills get higher and higher.
To compound this problem, personal injury survivors are often unable to work, or unable to work as they once did. Sometimes this disability is temporary and only lasts as long as it takes the survivor to heal, but other times, it is permanent. With wages lost and bills piling up virtually from the moment a person is injured, many personal injury survivors and their families find themselves facing financial catastrophe along with the often-devastating physical, mental, and emotional damage caused by their injuries.
The combination can be totally demoralizing and disorienting to personal injury survivors and their families. It can be hard to know where to turn, or what to do next.
