INJURY CASES

Other Personal Injury Cases

Personal injury events can be tragic and senseless. Some horrific incidents will happen no matter what; however, some accidents are entirely avoidable. Tens of thousands of people each year suffer personal injuries from issues such as these:

Premises Liability

When you are a visitor on another person or business’s property, the owner of the premises has a duty to make sure that they are as safe as possible. If you are injured in a way that could have been prevented if the owner of the property had not been negligent, they might be liable for your injuries. Premises liability claims can be complicated and nuanced, but a personal injury attorney is prepared to help you navigate the entire process.

Head and Brain Injuries

Brain injuries can be some of the most catastrophic injuries someone can suffer, and they lead to many problems. Memory loss, altered perception, hearing and sight issues, dizziness, and many other issues can result from a traumatic brain or head injury. These injuries can have significant life-altering consequences for victims.

Spinal Injuries

Spinal injuries, like brain injuries, can lead to severe problems for victims. Backaches, structural and postural damage, walking troubles, and even paralysis can result when the spine sustains harm. Recovery from spinal injury may be arduous—you could need the help of a personal injury attorney to ensure you are compensated.

Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

People who own pets are responsible for ensuring that their pets are not a danger to others. This means training them properly and keeping them in an area where they will not be able to cause harm to anyone.

Child Injuries

When your child is injured, you will likely be frightened and overwhelmed. You trust products made for youngsters, such as childcare products, toys, and child safety devices, to be safe for your kids. But what if they’re not and your child is injured or harmed? When the manufacturers designers, marketers, and sellers of such products make errors, the products can go from being fun and protective to extremely dangerous.

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries can come from many sources, including car accidents, home or business fire accidents, or work accidents. Recover from severe burns is physically painful and medically  expensive. If you can work and have lost income, that can only compound your problems.

Drowning

Drowning accidents are more common than most people think. They can occur due to defective gates, lifeguard negligence, the negligence of pool operators, and other malfunctions. If you swim at a public pool or another person’s pool, the owners and operators are responsible for your safety. When safety protocols are neglected, the results can be devastating.

Medical Malpractice

We trust doctors, hospitals, and other medical providers to do their job efficiently and correctly. However, these are human beings who often work long shifts and are not immune to making mistakes. When a medical provider makes an error, it could put your health, well-being, and your very life at risk. 

Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse

If your loved one is in a nursing home, you trust that they are receiving the care and respect they deserve. However, as adults become older, they become more vulnerable and fragile, as well. Unfortunately, this makes them easy targets for unscrupulous medical providers and carers. If you suspect or witness your loved one being abused or neglected in a nursing home, call the authorities, and then call a personal injury attorney.
