As a lawyer, the most common types of personal injury claims that I handle are:
- Car accidents: This covers accidents involving cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians. Common injuries include whiplash, fractures, head injuries, and spinal cord injuries.
- Slip and fall accidents: These accidents occur when a person slips, trips, or falls on someone else's property due to unsafe conditions such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, or improper signage.
- Medical malpractice: This occurs when a healthcare professional fails to provide adequate treatment or care, leading to injury or even death. Examples include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, and medication errors.
- Defective products: This type of claim involves injuries caused by a product that was defective or dangerous due to defects in design, manufacturing or inadequate warnings. Examples include toys, household appliances, and medical devices.
- Workplace accidents: This includes injuries sustained while working due to unsafe conditions or equipment. Common injuries include broken bones, burns, and head injuries.
It's important to note that there may be exceptions or limitations to pursuing a personal injury claim. For example, in some cases, the injured party may be partially at fault for the accident or injury, which can affect the amount of damages awarded. Additionally, the statute of limitations in your jurisdiction may limit the amount of time you have to file a claim.
If you have been injured and believe that you have a possible personal injury claim, my advice would be to consult with a licensed attorney who can evaluate your case and provide tailored legal advice.
