Many circumstances can cause a situation where one party’s negligence caused injuries and financial damages to another. This means many scenarios can support a personal injury claim. Some examples include:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Dog bites
- Slip and falls
- Premises liability incidents
- Defective devices
- Dangerous drugs
- Dangerous products
- Boating accidents
- Maritime injuries
- Wrongful death
Personal injury incidents can also cause a wide range of injuries. After being in an accident, you may experience life-threatening injuries that could leave you with significant medical bills and emotional trauma. Depending on the nature of your accident, you may also live with cognitive functioning difficulties or mobility impairments.
Some incidents are more likely to cause certain types of injuries than others. For example, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), many slip and fall accidents cause traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and broken bones. Possible injuries in a negligence accident could include:
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Internal bleeding
- Organ damage
- Spinal cord trauma
- Fractured bones
- Lacerations
- Abrasions
- Loss of limb
