What are some common types of personal injury cases that you represent?

As a lawyer, some common types of personal injury cases that I represent include:

  1. Car accidents

    These are some of the most common personal injury cases. It occurs when a driver's negligence results in an accident that causes injury to another person. Victims may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages.

  2. Slip and fall accidents

    These happen when a person slips, trips or falls in a public or private space because of hazardous conditions that the owner of the property failed to address. This type of personal injury can result in broken bones, head injuries, or spinal cord damage, and victims may be entitled to compensation for their losses.

  3. Medical malpractice

    In this type of case, a healthcare provider is negligent and fails to provide the required standard of care to a patient, resulting in injury or death. Medical malpractice can include surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication errors, or failure to properly treat a condition.

  4. Product liability

    This occurs when a defective product causes injury or harm to a consumer. Product liability includes manufacturing defects, design defects, or failure to warn of potential dangers.

  5. Dog bites

    When a person is bitten by a dog, the owner may be held responsible for the resulting injuries. In some cases, dog bites can result in severe injuries, such as scarring, nerve damage, and emotional trauma.

It is important to note that each state has specific laws that govern personal injury cases, and there may be variations and limitations based on the facts of an individual case. If you have been injured, it is crucial to speak with an experienced attorney to understand the laws applicable to your case and to determine the proper course of action.
