Being hurt in an accident is a shocking and jarring experience. Nobody wakes up in the morning expecting to be hurt during their day and in some cases, even what seems like a minor car accident can have long lasting consequences to the injured person. People who are in excellent health can find themselves suddenly incapacitated and in need of care by others and for people who may have been in reasonably good health before the accident took place, this can be a shocking and heartbreaking experience.
The money problems that often beset accident victims are a secondary effect of the accident that took place. It is often a shock to injured people to see just how quickly their bills can get out of control and how they can no longer keep up with the payments that are needed to get their health care appointments all taken care of.

Personal injury claims are intended to help injured people to collect some or all of the money that they have had to pay out of their own pockets for the care and the medical services that they have required due to the accident injuries.
