Personal Injury Information

There are many different types of personal injury cases. Knowing the type of personal injury case you have will assist you and your legal counsel in knowing when the statute of limitations started and when it will end, as well as the type of claims you can make.

Types of Personal Injury Claims

Car accidents are among the most common type of personal injury case. Often car insurance does not cover all medical expenses, pain and suffering, or missed work from an extended recovery. An accident attorney can help you recover compensation for your injuries and losses. Product liability cases are based on injuries and losses sustained from poorly made or designed products that resulted in injury or wrongful death. Poorly written instructions or directions can also result in a product liability case. Slip and fall cases or premises liability cases are those resulting from you being injured on someone else's property because of their negligence in maintaining a safe environment (e.g., poor lighting, lack of railings, etc.). Pharmaceutical liability cases are based on injuries or death resulting from dangerous medications. There are many drugs that have known risks or are ultimately recalled and an experienced attorney can help you recover damages. Medical malpractice cases are those arising from negligence that occurs while receiving medical treatment or care. These types of cases can range from receiving the wrong treatments or medications to cases where errors were made during a surgery or procedure that causes you further or new injury.
