Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?
Accidental injuries can happen for many different reasons, including our own inattention or clumsiness. However, if another party’s negligence or willful act is responsible for your accident and injuries, you could have legal recourse and may be able to recover compensation.
The losses and damages from a serious and unexpected injury can be astronomical. However, if you can hold the at-fault party to account for your injuries, you could be entitled to compensation for your past, present, and future losses and expenses.

ClientExamples of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Accidents can happen anywhere and at any time. Personal injury lawsuits can arise due to nursing home abuse, boat accidents, dog and animal attacks, work accidents, bad drugs, and many other types of accidents and incidents. Most accidents involving another party’s negligence could result in a case.
However, personal injury cases more commonly occur with the following types of accidents and incidents:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
All types of motor vehicle accidents can potentially lead to a personal injury lawsuit, including:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
However, individuals hoping to recover compensation must prove the other party’s negligence or fault. If you suffered serious injuries in a car accident and are struggling to recover your due from the insurance company, you should get in touch with one of our lawyers as soon as possible and get clear on your legal options.
Slip and Fall Cases
A property owner generally is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of their property. Letting dangerous conditions such as wet floors, broken floorboards, or bulging carpets go unaddressed could result in owner liability when someone comes to harm.
Falls can cause devastating and life-changing injuries, particularly for elders. If you suffered a fall due to a dangerous or hazardous condition, a personal injury attorney could help you get the compensation you deserve.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is a wide field and can cover various breaches of the standard of care, including:
- Medication errors
- Misdiagnosis
- Late diagnosis
- Surgical errors
- Anesthesia errors
Medical malpractice can also include many other incidents in which a medical professional acted carelessly or negligently. However, medical malpractice cases can be tough to litigate and may require several expert witnesses. Claimants may be up against powerful lawyers, medical providers, and healthcare companies.
Dangerous Products
Dangerous and defective products can cause injuries and fatalities. If you suffered injuries and expenses due to a design defect, false marketing, or a manufacturing error, you could have a personal injury case.
