It is a common misconception that recovery in personal injury claims is limited to automobile collisions. This is not the case. Other incidents covered under the umbrella of personal injury include: slip and fall accidents, injuries resulting from dangerous premises or activities, injuries caused by defective products, animal attacks, assaults, boating accidents, and snowmobile collisions. In essence, you can pursue a claim for personal injury compensation if you’ve suffered an injury due to someone else’s negligence. Even if you bear partial responsibility for your injury, you are still entitled to compensation based on the other party’s degree of fault. However, if your injuries were sustained in an automobile accident, you are entitled to accident benefits regardless of fault. The No-Fault Accident Benefit system, provided by your own insurer, offers income replacement, non-earner attendant care, medical/rehabilitation benefits, and optional coverage for housekeeping/home maintenance and caregiver expenses. Even if you lack automobile insurance, you may still be eligible to collect certain benefits.
