When a personal injury results from someone else’s negligence, you deserve fair compensation for your injuries and trauma. Our Abbeville personal injury attorney wants to help you reclaim your life by pursuing what is rightfully yours under the law.
Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
There are many ways people suffer injuries every day, but not all of them are causes for injury cases. A personal injury lawsuit must be the result of someone’s negligence, carelessness, or maliciousness. Examples of personal injury cases include:
- Car accidents: According to the Insurance Information Institute (III), speeding, drinking alcohol, and other preventable behaviors cause most fatal car accidents. When a driver breaks the traffic laws or is negligent, they must be held accountable.
- Other vehicular accidents: If you were hit by a truck while on the road or by a boat while in the water, you could have a personal injury case on your hands.
- Dog bites: Dog owners who do not keep a known vicious dog under control should be held responsible if their dog attacks someone for no reason.
- Medical malpractice: According to a report from Johns Hopkins University (JHU), physician errors are the third leading cause of death in the United States. Such injuries may be caused by misdiagnosis, incorrect treatments and tests, and more.
- Slip and fall accidents: Businesses and residential owners must take care not to allow their property to become hazardous to others. If someone slips and falls on their property, then the owner could be held responsible.
