Types of Personal Injury Cases

Any accident where a victim is injured due to the action or inaction of another party can be a personal injury case. Car accidents are the most common case, but they aren’t the only type that a victim may be able to receive compensation for. Some of the other types of accidents that can lead to a personal injury case include the following.

Trip and Fall Accidents – A trip and fall accident is one where a person is injured because they fell while they were in a store or on a walkway. For this to be a case, the trip and fall accident attorney will need to show negligence by the property owner. A Trip and fall accident lawyer may show this through video evidence that the store’s floor wasn’t cleaned after a spill, for instance, or that a walkway was damaged and not roped off or repaired in a timely manner.
Dog Bites – Dog bites can be serious or deadly. If the dog bite occurred because the dog was not under the control of the owner, one of the Dog Bite Attorneys might be able to help the victim obtain compensation for their injuries.
Medical Malpractice – Doctors are supposed to take excellent care of their patients, but accidents do happen. When the accident is a result of negligence, it’s possible for the victim to obtain compensation through a medical malpractice case. A Medical Malpractice Attorney is vital in these cases, as they are very fact-specific.
Product Liability – Products are supposed to be tested and safe for use before they’re released. If someone uses a product according to directions and is injured, they may have a product liability case. These cases can sometimes turn out to be class action lawsuits if multiple victims are injured. Any product can fall under this type of case, but the most common types of product liability cases are for medicine and medical devices.
