FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Like beauty, it is often the case that seriousness is in the eye of the beholder. For a professional athlete or a pianist, for example, the permanent loss of use of even a single finger could be devastating while the same injury may be nothing more than a minor inconvenience to a talk show host. The best measure of the seriousness of an injury is the degree to which it will impact the life of the victim and for how long. Many personal injury lawyers consider an injury serious if it is permanent and causes pain and/or significantly disrupts life activities.
