Different Yet Common Personal Injury Cases
As personal injury experts, we receive tons of cases that constantly remind us that you, me, anyone can get injured anywhere —even in the places you’d least expect. No matter where or how careful you are, there’s a chance that you could get into an accident. Which is why it’s important that you educate yourself on your rights and the legal actions you could take. You don’t have to suffer more than you already are! It is okay to ask for help. By the time you finish this article, you’ll gain more insight on how you could better protect yourself if you get injured.
First, you will need to be aware of various common personal injury cases. Here are some of them:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Motor vehicle accidents are a common cause of personal injury. How bad their injury could depend on what vehicles are involved. A person hit by a regular sedan at 30mph, for example, could still get severely injured, but their injuries may not be as bad if they were to get hit by a truck driving at the same speed. Depending on how bad your injury got, you may be entitled to compensation for all the medical and mechanic bills you acquired, as well as lost wages and pain and suffering.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Business owners who don’t think about the wellbeing of their employees and clients are very likely to end up having slip and fall accidents in their businesses. Unfortunately, there are a lot of establishments who don’t improve their facilities, and a lot more who can’t even be bothered to maintain them. You can tell by their wet floors, dim lighting, and poorly maintained tables. Always remember: businesses have an obligation to keep their customers or clients safe. So if you happen to slip and fall as a result of their negligence, then you may be able to get compensated for your injury.
Rideshare Accidents
Uber, Lyft, Opoli, Alto… no matter what rideshare services you use, you could still get injured. These drivers get paid per ride, so they have an incentive to drive you from one destination to another as fast as they can, even if it means not following the traffic rules (ie: beating the red light, disregarding traffic signs, driving past the speed limits, etc.) so that they can get more rides and get paid more in the time they have set aside to work. This increases the chances of car accidents, which often leads to serious personal injuries including but not limited to traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, etc.
Dog Bites
Dogs are cute and we love them, but under certain circumstances, they may break your heart and cause your injury. This is often a result of neglect on the owner’s part. For example, certain states have passed a law that requires dogs to be leashed when they’re outside. If their owners are found guilty of not doing so, they could be sued. If you find yourself injured because of a dog bite, make sure to contact a personal injury lawyer in your area to discuss how you can get compensated.
