There are various types of Personal Injuries – Accidents ( car accident, truck accident, Muni accident, Motorcycle accident), Slips/Falls, Dog Bite, Defective Products, Asbestos, Wrongful death and domestic violence, to name a few.

The most common type of personal injury is Auto Accident which is mostly caused by other party’s negligence due to one of the following reasons:

• Distraction
• Furious driving
• Under the influence of drug/ medicine.

Slips/Falls cases occur when people are injured when they slip, trip or fall due to rugged and unsafe surface conditions.  Rough surface, wet floors and uneven floors are some of the causes of slips/falls that can lead to severe injuries and in those cases the victim is entitled to compensation; usually called a personal injury settlement.

Another common type of personal injury is Workplace Injury.  In addition to a worker injuring themselves or being injured by a co-worker (which lead to workers compensation claims) some workers are injured by someone who is not employed by a co-worker.  These are called “third party” claims.  In These circumstances, the injured worker can often make both a worker’s compensation claim and a third party claim which means they get worker’s compensation benefits and they get compensated for their losses from the person who caused the injury (or their insurance company).

Defective Products also cause injuries.  It is not uncommon for products to be sold or otherwise find their way into our homes or places of work even though the manufacturer knew that the product is dangerous.  In such cases, the manufacturer can be held liable and required to pay compensation to the person injured by their product.

Perhaps the most serious personal injury case is one for Wrongful Death which happens when a person is killed due to negligence or carelessness of an entity or an individual.  Families of the victim are entitled to receive compensation for the loss of their loved one.  This can include not only compensation for their pain and suffering, but also for funeral and burial expenses, for medical bills, for loss of the deceased’s income and other economic losses.
