Personal injury law offers protection if you are injured or your property is harmed because of another party’s actions or inaction. With the help of a lawyer, you can file a claim to seek compensation from the party at fault.
There are several types of situations in which personal injury law may apply. Here are common personal injury claims:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents – If you are injured in a car accident and you believe another party is at fault, you may be able to file a personal injury claim to seek compensation for vehicle repair or replacement, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering.
- Slip and Fall Accidents – You can file a claim for a slip and fall accident if the accident occurs on someone else’s property because of a hazard that the property owner should have taken reasonable steps warn you about or rectify.
- Medical Malpractice – If you have suffered an injury at the hands of a health care provider, such as a medical doctor, nurse, physical therapist, or mental health care professional, you may have grounds to pursue a medical malpractice claim.
- Workplace Injuries – Becoming injured at your job could mean you are unable to work for the foreseeable future. You may be able to file a personal injury claim if you were injured in a workplace-related accident and your employer caused or contributed to the injury.
- Product Liability – Defective products that cause injury because of their design, manufacturing, or marketing can lead to personal injury claims.
- Dog Bites – If a dog bites or otherwise attacks you in a public place or a place you have permission to be, their owner can be held liable for your injuries.
