Personal injury is a legal term for an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to
property. The term is most commonly used to refer to a type of tort lawsuit alleging that the
plaintiff's injury has been caused by the negligence of another, but also arises in defamation torts.

We know it's hard to defend your rights in cases of personal injuries and accidents. Let us do it for
you. Let us help.
In England and Wales, under the limitation rules, where an individual is bringing a claim for
compensation, court proceedings must be commenced within 3 years of the date of the accident,
failing which the claimant will lose the right to bring his or her claim. However, injured parties who
were under the age of 18 at the time of their accidents have until the day prior to their 21st birthdays
to commence proceedings. A court has the discretion to extend or waive the limitation period if it is
considered equitable to do so.[2] Another exception is if the accident caused an injury, as an example
industrial deafness, then the three year period will start from when injured party knew or ought to
have known that he or her had a claim.[3]
Aside from compensation for injuries, the injured person can also get compensated for how the
injuries have affected his or her life. An example, a keen cricketer suffers a wrist injury which
prevents him from playing cricket during the cricket season. This can be compensated for, over and
above the award for the injury itself. This is called loss of amenity, and the award for loss of amenity
is part of the claim for pain, suffering and loss of amenity.[5]
In the same manner the injured person can also be compensated if, as a result of the injuries, there
has been an inability to doing work which was previously really enjoyed. This is called loss of
congenial employment.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/pi-101220171804-phpapp02/85/Accident-Lawyer-Indio-1-320.jpg)
