What Is Personal Injury?

Personal injury is a legal term that describes physical injuries or illnesses caused by the negligence or willful actions of another person, business, government agency, or other entity. These injuries can range from minor scrapes and bruises to severe, life-threatening conditions such as traumatic brain injuries. They can also include psychological or emotional harm caused by the negligent party. 

Personal injury victims may incur medical expenses, lost wages from missed work due to their injury, pain and suffering, and more. Depending on the severity of the injury, victims may be eligible for compensation for their losses under state law or federal laws such as workers’ compensation. 

To receive compensation for injuries, victims must prove that the other party was negligent in causing the accident. In Wisconsin and Minnesota, a person is considered to have acted negligently when they “[fail] to exercise ordinary care.” Ordinary care is considered “the care which a reasonable person would use in similar circumstances.” This can include a driver who operates their vehicle recklessly or a manufacturer who releases an unsafe product. To recover damages, victims must also show that they suffered an actual loss because of negligence. 

Bye, Goff & Rohde’s award-winning attorneys have decades of experience handling a variety of cases involving severe personal injury and wrongful death claims resulting from car accidents, premises liability, product liability, and wrongful death cases. Our lawyers understand both state and federal laws related to these types of cases and have had success in obtaining fair recoveries for our clients. If you or someone you know has been injured due to another person’s negligence or recklessness, contact Bye, Goff & Rohde today for legal guidance.

Potential Damages

Victims of personal injury in Wisconsin and Minnesota are legally entitled to seek compensation for various damages. This includes both special damages (commonly called economic damages), general damages (commonly referred to as non-economic damages), and punitive damages.

Here is a quick breakdown of the three types of potential damages: 

  • Special Damages: Covers the financial impact of a personal injury incident. This can include current and future medical costs, lost wages due to the inability to work during recovery, loss of potential earning capacity if a victim is left with a lasting disability, and any out-of-pocket expenses related to the injury. 
  • General Damages: Encompasses all other losses that do not have an exact financial value but still cause hardship for the victim. Examples include physical pain and suffering from the injury itself or any lingering symptoms, emotional distress such as anxiety or depression, loss of enjoyment in activities once enjoyed, disfigurement or physical impairment, loss of companionship or consortium, and/or inconvenience resulting from the injury or necessary treatments. 
  • Punitive Damages: These are meant to serve as punishment for the defendant’s reckless or egregious conduct and as a deterrent against similar behavior in the future. Punitive damages can vary widely depending on the nature of the injury and are only awarded when a defendant is considered grossly negligent.
