The law defines compensation as recompense for loss. Any injury you suffer, either physical or psychological, as the consequence of an accident, may entitle you to a financial award to answer for income loss, medical expenses, or any other related expenses that you have incurred as a result of the injury. This is provided that the accident was not actually your own fault. The amount and type of compensation you are awarded depends on the injury’s severity, the circumstances surrounding the accident, and the amount of blame that falls on you. Personal injury is defined as any physical or psychological injury you sustain as a consequence of an accident. Most cases of compensation award involve an instance of personal injury. One exception that does not fall under personal injury is an injury sustained during a violent crime. Specific laws cover criminal injury compensation.
