If you were injured in an accident due to no fault of your own, a seasoned personal injury lawyer may be able to help you collect compensation. Whether you were injured as the result of a car wreck, at-work accident, slip and fall accident, or faulty product, an adept legal professional will work delicately to get you compensated appropriately.
About Personal Injury
As one of the most common claims under civil law, there are various types of personal injury cases. From construction accidents and products liability, to civil rights violations and wrongful deaths, to automobile wrecks and slip and fall accidents, there are numerous grounds for personal injury claims. However, one aspect all cases of personal injury share is negligence. An attorney who’s well-acquainted with personal injury claims can provide a sense of direction if you’ve been injured due to another person’s carelessness.
Traffic Accidents
Some forms of personal injury cases are more prevalent than others. Traffic accidents are one of – if not the most – commonly seen personal claim by professionals in the legal field. Over 5 million auto wrecks occur in the United States each year, and many of these collisions involve bicyclists and pedestrians. In a large number of these accidents, reckless and inattentive drivers are to blame for resulting bodily injuries and property damages.
Work-Related Injuries
With millions of construction accidents and other at-work incidents occurring each year, it’s easy to understand why many personal injury cases involve work-related injuries. A trained workers’ comp or personal injury lawyer can provide the guidance you need, whether you’re unfamiliar with the filing process, are being denied coverage by an insurance company, or feel another party is to blame for your injury. Personal injury attorneys regularly aid clients with filing claims against negligent parties, such as sub-contractors, coworkers, or supervisors.
Slip & Fall Accidents
While it may be surprising, every year, millions of Americans sustain injuries caused by slips and falls. Slip and fall accidents resulting in bodily damage can happen to anyone. However, elderly individuals are especially susceptible to suffering serious injuries, such as broken bones, spinal injuries, or head trauma. Proving liability in a slip and fall case is often difficult, and requires extensive knowledge of personal injury and premises liability laws. For this reason, personal injury attorneys are often needed to assess the details of such claims.
Unsafe Products
Around 20,000 personal injury claims concerning injuries or illness attributed to faulty products are filed every year. Be it contaminated medicine, dangerous toys, or poorly designed auto parts, products liability claims can differ considerably. Like other types of personal injury cases, products liability claims can be challenging to prove without personal injury attorneys. An experienced lawyer will listen carefully to your claim, examine the evidence, and help you work toward fair compensation.
