Personal injury cases are brought after a party’s carelessness or recklessness causes another person to be injured. The defendant in a personal injury case may be an individual, or it may be an entity such as a company or municipality.
Motor vehicle collisions can lead to severe, often life-threatening injuries, including traumatic brain injuries, neck and back injuries, broken bones, lacerations, and more. You could be entitled to compensation through a personal injury claim or lawsuit if you were involved in a crash caused by:
Individuals or entities in control of a property have a legal duty to keep the property reasonably safe. If a property is not kept in a reasonably safe condition and someone legally visiting the premises is injured as a result, the property owner or occupier may be liable for damages.
Many premises liability cases stem from a “defective condition” on the property. Slippery floors, poor lighting, broken concrete, and stairs with missing handrails are examples of defective conditions that may lead to an injury.
Premises liability cases may involve:
Doctors, surgeons, nurses, and other healthcare professionals have a legal obligation to provide reasonably competent medical treatment to patients. When a medical professional makes an avoidable mistake that causes a patient’s injury or death, the medical professional or the medical facility may be liable for damages.
Most medical malpractice cases hinge upon whether or not a healthcare provider’s conduct violated the medical standard of care. This standard refers to the medical care a reasonably competent healthcare professional with the same education and experience would have provided in similar circumstances.
Hospital errors, surgical errors, pharmacy mistakes, medication errors, birth injuries, and other types of medical negligence may lead to medical malpractice claims.
Product designers and manufacturers are expected to make consumer products that are not unreasonably dangerous. If defective design or manufacturing causes a product defect that leads to a consumer’s injury or death, the company that designed or manufactured the product may be liable for damages. Defective automotive parts, children’s toys, medical devices, drugs, and more may lead to a product liability claim.
