Personal Injury

A personal injury occurs when a person has suffered some form of injury, either physical or psychological, as the result of an accident or medical malpractice. The most common type of personal injury claims are road traffic accidents, accidents at work, tripping accidents and accidents in the home. Where the accident was the fault of someone else, the injured party may be entitled to monetary compensation from the person whose negligent conduct caused the injury.

Physiotherapy sessions will be of particular benefit to the victims of car accidents which often involve soft tissue injuries to the neck, shoulders and back. These injuries, which often include whiplash type symptoms, are caused by the sudden movements of the body following a car accident. Other injuries that can benefit from physiotherapy include soft tissue damage to the legs and arms following a tripping accident.
