In law, personal injuries occur when someone suffers physical and or emotional harm resulting from the willful or negligent behavior of another. An individual who has suffered a personal injury can recover damages against a responsible person or entity. Thus under Ghanaian law, a person as well as a company can be liable for the personal injury of another person. The law will normally allow an injured person to recover damages for medical expenses (present and future), lost wages, loss of potential future wages and pain and suffering resulting from the injury.
Although personal injury victims may be able to recover monetary damages associated with their injury, their success and the amount they are able to recover will depend on their legal representation. Success in a personal injury suit will also be greatly enhanced depending on the actions or inactions of the victim after the injury is sustained. It is therefore important that you contact a lawyer for advice as soon as you sustain a personal injury.
