About Personal Injury
Personal injury law is a branch of law that deals with cases involving injuries that are caused by the negligence or intentional acts of others. Personal injury cases can involve a wide range of injuries, including physical injuries, emotional distress, and financial losses.
In Pakistan, the law governing personal injury cases is the Civil Procedure Code (CPC). The CPC sets out the rules and procedures for filing and pursuing a personal injury lawsuit. It also defines the elements that must be proven in order to succeed in a personal injury claim.
Keep Your Rights
- Seek medical attention immediately. This will help to ensure that you receive the necessary treatment and that any evidence of your injury is preserved.
- Document everything. Keep a record of all of your medical records, including any communications you have had with your doctor or other healthcare providers. You should also document any symptoms you are experiencing, as well as any financial losses you have incurred as a result of the injury.
- Get legal advice. Once you have documented everything, you should speak to a personal injury lawyer. A lawyer can help you to understand your legal rights and options, and can represent you in court if you decide to file a lawsuit.

- Be aware of the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is the time limit within which you must file a lawsuit for personal injury. In Pakistan, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is three years from the date of the injury.
- Do not speak to the defendant or their insurance company without first speaking to your lawyer. The defendant or their insurance company may try to get you to make a statement or sign a waiver. This could jeopardize your legal rights.
- Be prepared to fight for your rights. Personal injury cases can be complex and time-consuming. You should be prepared to fight for your rights and to not give up if you do not get the outcome you want in the beginning.
