CHICAGO, IL, September 30, 2012 (Press-News.org) Simply speaking, a personal injury is any injury you sustain in an accident. This can range from broken bones and minor bruises to things as serious as traumatic brain injury and even death. In instances where personal injury is minor, insurance payments are often enough to cover medical expenses and other practical considerations. When you are seriously injured in an accident, you will need an aggressive personal injury attorney on your side to make sure you receive the full settlement you are due.
