A personal injury lawsuit is defined less by the specific type of injury and more by the negligence that caused it. Nearly any kind of accident can warrant a personal injury case when it is caused by someone else’s carelessness. And when that happens, you want an experienced personal injury lawyer on your team to help you pursue fair financial compensation.
Personal injury is a very broad field with some kinds of personal injury cases more common than others. Claims can also overlap, with multiple responsible parties and different negligent behaviors. Some of the most common personal injury cases include:
Auto accidents are extremely prevalent on today’s busy roads—data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety states that the 35,766 fatal vehicle crashes in 2020 caused 38,824 deaths. Car accidents can cause injuries ranging from minor to catastrophic, depending on the situation.
When an accident involves a truck, it is more likely to be catastrophic. All drivers have a responsibility to drive safely, but truck drivers especially must be fully aware of their surroundings. With less braking capacity, heavier loads, and larger bulk, truck drivers must watch for signs of danger and respond immediately to avoid causing accidents.
Boat malfunctions, operator distractions, and reckless behavior and are other types of personal injuries and all lead to thousands of boating accidents and personal injury claims each year.
Motorcycle, ATV, and snowmobile injuries from accidents also often warrant personal injury claims.
Most medical providers do their best to treat patients properly, but negligence still occurs. If you are prescribed the wrong medication, if your medical professional fails to diagnose or treat your condition, or if they commit anesthetic or surgical errors, you likely have a medical malpractice claim and should consult a personal injury attorney immediately.
Dangerous or Defective ProductsWhen a product malfunctions or is unsafe from the start, it can cause serious injuries or even death. Designers and manufacturers are responsible for creating products that work safely in the way they were designed. If you have been injured by a product that is dangerous and/or defective, you may have grounds for a personal injury claim.
Vehicle parts, technical equipment, and even children’s toys can be serious product liability claims and victims should aggressively pursue legal action.
It can be easy to shrug off a slip or fall by claiming clumsiness, but in reality, some of these situations are the result of negligence by a property owner or a business. If the location is not safe, the owner or operator should be held accountable for the injury.
Wet or dirty surfaces, uneven walkways, obstructions including cables, cords, hoses, and stairs or raised platforms without railings can all lead to slip and fall accidents that are personal injury cases.
Although workers’ compensation is a kind of insurance nearly all employers are required to carry on behalf of their employees, it is common for an injured worker to need a personal injury lawyer to help pursue monetary compensation.
The process can be drawn out and confusing at times, especially if a company or its insurer is trying to avoid compensating for workplace injuries. An experienced attorney can review your compensation claim or denial and help you seek compensation.
Not all injuries qualify for a personal injury claim, but when someone else’s negligence is a factor a personal injury attorney will help you pursue maximum compensation. Other common negligent accidents include:
In any personal injury claim, you must prove negligence: that the liable party had a duty of care, that a breach of duty occurred, the breach directly caused the accident or injury, and that you are the injured party.
