Personal injury compensation refers to the financial payment awarded to individuals who have been harmed due to someone else's negligence or wrongful actions. This compensation aims to cover various damages, including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The amount awarded can vary based on the severity of the injury and the impact on the victim's life. To receive personal injury compensation, the injured party typically needs to file a claim against the responsible party or their insurance company. This process often involves gathering evidence, such as medical records and witness statements, to support the claim and demonstrate the extent of the injuries sustained.
