As a lawyer, the most common types of personal injury cases that I handle include car accidents, slip and falls, and medical malpractice. In car accident cases, the injured party may seek compensation for damages caused by the negligent actions of the other driver. This can include medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Slip and falls usually occur on someone else's property, such as a store or restaurant, and can be caused by slippery floors, uneven surfaces, or inadequate lighting. The injured party may be able to recover damages if the property owner was negligent in maintaining a safe environment.
In medical malpractice cases, the injured party may have been harmed by a healthcare provider's negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake. The injured party may be able to recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Other personal injury cases may include dog bites, product liability, and premises liability. It is important to note that each case is unique and may have specific limitations or exceptions based on the individual circumstances. It is recommended to seek the advice of a licensed attorney for specific legal advice and recommendations for further action.
