What Are Common Personal Injury Cases?
Personal injuries result from a wide variety of cases, from construction accidents to rideshare crashes to dog bites. Depending on how your injury occurred, different parties may be liable.
Construction Accidents
Construction sites are injury hotspots due to the heavy machinery used and the simultaneous work of multiple contractors. Building owners, contractors, and site managers may all be liable for injuries.
Car Accidents
Car accidents are among the leading causes of personal injuries. Following a crash, the driver of the other vehicle, the operator’s employer (if operating during the course of employment), and the vehicle owner could be liable.
Truck Accidents
Accidents involving commercial trucks often result in severe injuries due to the size and weight of the trucks. These cases require the assistance of a lawyer with extensive knowledge of trucking regulations to hold all at-fault parties liable.
Motorcycle Accidents
Motorcycle riders may sustain more severe injuries than other vehicle occupants in a crash due to the lack of protection their vehicle provides.
Taxi Accidents
After an injury involving a taxi, you may be able to hold the taxi driver, taxi company, or another driver liable for your injuries. You can seek compensation regardless of whether you were in the taxi or another vehicle involved in the crash.
Uber/Lyft/Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft provide varying levels of liability insurance and are often proper parties in litigation.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle accidents often involve cyclists being struck by motor vehicles or via roadway defects.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrians struck by vehicles can seek compensation for their injuries by filing a personal injury lawsuit against the at-fault driver and vehicle owner.
Slip-and-Fall Accidents
Slipping and falling is a major cause of broken bones, soft tissue injuries, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries.
Premises Liability
Property owners have a responsibility to keep their properties free from known or expected hazards. They may be liable if they fail to remedy or warn visitors about a dangerous condition.
Wrongful Death
If your loved one’s death resulted from someone else’s actions or misconduct, you may be able to seek compensation for your loss through a wrongful death lawsuit.
Sidewalk Accidents
Every day, people fall on broken sidewalks, improperly maintained sidewalks, or due to improper snow/ice removal. Property owners and, in some cases, municipalities can be sued for injuries sustained in a sidewalk fall.
Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites may result in various injuries, including lacerations, punctures, soft tissue damage, and a serious risk of infection.
