What Types of Cases Can a Personal Injury Attorney Handle?

Have you suffered a life-changing injury that led to psychological damage, going through an emotional trauma due to a distressing event, or sustained a physical injury?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, and the cause of your injury is a third party’s negligence, you might have grounds for a personal injury case. 

When you suffer a personal injury, you’re likely to be entitled to some economic damages. This compensation can encompass many things, including:

  • Medical expenses
  • Transportation and living expenses
  • Expenses for repairs and replacements of vehicles
  • Compensation for lost wages or earning capacity
  • Compensation for the loss of property that has sentimental value
  • Expenses related to canceled trips
  • Compensation due to pain, mental anguish, lower quality of life, physical disfigurement, loss of a partner, etc.

If you’re wondering whether you qualify for any of these damages, based on the injuries that you’ve sustained in an accident, here are some of the most common personal injury cases that are regularly handled by attorneys:

Motor Vehicle-Related Incidents

More than half of annual personal injury cases are made up of motor vehicle-related accidents. The majority of these cases are successfully terminated due to the involvement of a personal injury attorney. 

Perhaps you’ve been hit by a car navigated by an intoxicated driver. Or maybe you’ve been hit while riding a bike in a city where there’s no bicycle infrastructure, so you had to share the traffic with a heavier vehicle. 

You might’ve ended up in a bus crash where the driver wasn’t adequately trained, or the vehicle was defective. On the other hand, maybe you’ve simply ended up in an accident due to hazardous conditions, such as frozen roads or construction work.

Either way, insurance companies, and the opposing party will undoubtedly try to assign the blame for these accidents to you. 

A personal injury attorney from LAW S&B will help protect you against the blame, determine the source of liability, collect the necessary evidence, and help bring your case to court.

Injuries Due to a Defective or Dangerous Product.

Did you know that there are consumer protection laws designed to protect you from injuries caused by defective products? These defects could range from a poorly designed firearm, through medicine without the proper warning in regards to the potential side effects, to manufacturing defects such as faulty brakes on your car.

Maybe the accident is a result of a negligent manufacturer or a seller of the product – or perhaps the responsible person is the one that designed it. A personal injury attorney can help you to determine who to sue for the injury that you’ve suffered. 

Work-Related Injury

If you’ve suffered an injury at work and experienced a loss of wage or a disability due to it, you might be entitled to workers’ compensation by your employer.

Common injuries at a workplace include falling from ladders, slipping on wet floors, getting your bones fractured by the machinery, experiencing injuries due to having to carry heavy objects or because of exposure to toxic substances, and many others. 

Statistics show that a lot of these cases don’t ever go to court, so the expertise of a personal injury attorney might come in handy in cases such as these. Why? Because they often require a lot of negotiations with the employer for a settlement. 

Injuries Sustained on Someone Else’s Property.

You might’ve been invited to a friendly neighbor’s barbecue and gotten food poisoning due to them using harmful chemicals or unsanitary materials when cooking. On the other hand, you may have gotten bitten by someone else’s dog or electrocuted due to a neighbor’s faulty wiring. 

Cases Like These Classify Under the Premises Liability Laws.

A personal injury attorney can help you gather the evidence about the cause of your accident, identify all liable parties, build your case to claim meaningful damages for you, and limit your liability in the case. 

Premises liability lawsuits have a limited amount of time to initiate the legal proceedings, so a legal expert can make sure that your case is handled promptly while you’re recovering from your injury.

Injuries as a Result of an Assault.

Were you threatened by a loved one or mugged on the street? Are you a victim of police brutality, domestic abuse, or sexual assault?

 If so, you could receive financial compensation for the injuries that you’ve suffered, but navigating cases like these can be tricky on your own. Reading about Kingsley workplace sexual harassment settlements will give you some insightful information to help you file a strong case.

You’ll have to collect a lot of evidence, ranging from witness testimonies to police and medical records. You’ll also likely have to work with law enforcement and go through the trauma of facing the person who assaulted you again.

Personal injuries attornies can help you move forward from these traumatic events by taking over this pursuit of holding the person who assaulted you accountable. All you need to do is book a consultation.

Medical Malpractice Injuries

There are many stories about doctors dismissing their patients and ignoring their health concerns. Sometimes misdiagnosis happens and patients suffer due to having their illnesses untreated. 

Other times, injuries and even catastrophic scenarios occur due to errors in treatment, medical ignorance, and bias. For example, did you know that black women are five times more likely to die due to pregnancy complications?

All of These Cases Qualify Under Medical Malpractice. 

Due to many states having tort reform bills, filing these lawsuits and recovering proper damages is getting increasingly hard. 

Personal injury attorneys understand this complex process and can help you understand your rights, who the liable parties are, as well as the value of your case.
