Car Accidents

Given that the majority of travelling done today is by car, many personal injuries are a result of car accidents. Causes include distracted drivers, drunk drivers, dangerous roads and much more. Thousands of lives are affected each year by the outcome of a car accident and many of the victims deal with significant medical costs and emotional trauma.

Slip & Falls

Though slip and fall accidents are most common in workplace accident scenarios, they can occur in any place where the floor or walkway is not properly cleared or maintained, along with other reasons. This may be the fault of a property owner or other individual and a case should be assessed to determine who is responsible.

Construction Accidents

There are many types of construction accidents that can cause personal injury. Construction work and construction sites are inherently dangerous, and unfortunately, property owners and contractors prioritize profits over safety all too often. Consequently, construction accidents resulting in severe injuries of various types might occur

Medical Malpractice

When you receive medical treatment, you trust the medical personnel to take care of you. Get compensation if you have suffered injury because of medical negligence or harmful intent. Negligence may occur in a number of ways and if it can be shown that a medical professional failed to deliver reasonable care and treatment, there may be grounds for a solid case.

Truck Accidents

Causes of truck accidents include tired or drunk drivers, dangerous roads, and improperly loaded trucks. Trucking companies can be very reluctant to admit liability, so make sure you have legal representation.

Bus Accidents

Bus accidents can be devastating and the large size and limited range can make it easy for a collision to take place. There are a number of types of buses that are used and these can have the potential to wreak havoc for both the passengers of the bus and the other vehicles or pedestrians that are hit. These cases should be reviewed by an attorney to determine who is liable and if compensation is owed.

Serious Injuries

All injuries are unfortunate but in some cases, the injuries that are suffered are far more severe and may never be fully recovered from. These can include trauma such as a brain injury, spinal cord injury, burns and more. These need immediate medical attention and a case should consider both the current and future cost of repair.

Pedestrian Accidents

When crossing the street a pedestrian should be given the way. Drivers do not always pay attention to them and they can be struck while going through the intersection, and be left with a range of injuries. Without the protection of a car and seatbelt, many accident victims can require extensive treatment that can be costly and may not always be enough to fix the damage that was done.

Premises Liability

In a premises liability case the focus will be on whether or not a property owner is responsible for the injuries that were sustained. Owning property comes with responsibility and an owner needs to be reasonably cautious. This will be assessed in a case to determine if they were negligent and acted contrary from what a reasonably prudent person would do.

Wrongful Death

In some of the most tragic cases, a loved one can be lost through an accident. This can leave a family mourning, on top of the expenses they have to face when they have already lost so much. Sometimes there is someone that is responsible for the death and they can be pursued for compensation. Family members may be owed for a number of expenses including medical costs and funeral expenses, as well as pain and suffering.

Nursing Home Abuse

Many of our elderly loved ones are put in nursing homes where they are expected to receive attention and care. While there are many homes that provide this, there are also horrifying stories of the homes where this is not the case. Abuse can come in several forms and it may leave victims with physical and emotional scars.

Dog Bites

Animal attacks can cause emotional damage as well as physical damage due to the trauma of the event. Serious medical conditions such as tetanus and rabies can also result from subsequent injuries. An owner may be responsible for the injuries that their dog inflicted and these instances should be assessed by a professional.
