7 Common Personal Injury Claims

GET YOUR FREE CONSULTATION

Did you know that 35 million emergency room visits result from personal injury-related cases? Millions suffer personal injuries each year due to negligent parties. Unfortunately, many people do not know they can file for compensation for personal injuries caused by negligent individuals and medical errors. Explore seven common personal injury claims that you can file.

1. Car Accident Claims

Millions of Americans are injured in car accidents caused by negligent drivers every year. These accidents may be caused by driving under the influence, texting and driving, or overspeeding. For this reason, car accident claims are very common in the United States.

It may be hard to determine who was at fault in some accident cases. Therefore, accident victims must have good legal representation. Drivers found liable in a personal injury lawsuit must pay the victims financial compensation.

2. Wrongful Death

When an individual dies because of another's negligence, the deceased's family may file a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death suit may result from medical malpractice, construction accidents, motor vehicle accidents, airplane crashes, or nursing home neglect. Compensation for a wrongful death claim differs from compensation for non-fatal injuries. New Paragraph

3. Slip and Fall Accident Claims

Slips and falls are another common personal injury claim. If a slip and fall on another person's property results in an injury that costs you financially or results in income loss, you can claim compensation for the accident. However, to win your claim, you should be able to prove that hazardous conditions on the property caused the fall.

4. Workplace Injury Claims

When an employee sustains an injury at their workplace, they can file a compensation claim. According to California workers' compensation laws, if the injured party dies, their dependents are entitled to compensation. Common causes of workplace accidents include unsafe working conditions, faulty equipment, or inadequate training.

Hiring an attorney with experience in workplace injury claims will ensure your rights are protected. A good attorney will also guide you through the entire claim process.

5. Dog Bite Injury Claims

While dogs are beloved pets, they can sometimes pose a danger. Over 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, and 1 in 5 among those require medical treatment. In most cases, dog owners are held responsible for dog bite injuries.

The challenge in dog bite injury claims is proving that the owner knew that their dog was dangerous. To do this, you want representation from a personal injury attorney who has handled previous dog bite cases.

6. Product Liability Claims

Defective products can cause consumers serious harm. Incorrect labels and operation manuals can also cause injuries. In such cases, injured parties are entitled to financial compensation. Liable parties in product liability claims include people, companies, or government entities that manufactured, supplied, or sold the product.

Your attorney will evaluate the product in question during a product liability claim and identify the responsible parties. This will help you have a solid case and maximize your compensation.

7. Burn Injury Claim

Burn injuries are painful and traumatic and may be costly to treat. Apart from the pain and treatment costs, burns may result in permanent scars that harm victims' self-confidence. Some common causes of burn injuries include workplace accidents, motor vehicle accidents, construction accidents, and defective products.

You can file a compensation claim if you or a family member has sustained burn injuries due to a negligent party. Before filing the claim, make sure to secure legal representation from a personal injury lawyer to maximize your chances of winning.

Massive Truck Fire Halts Traffic on Los Angeles' 5 Freeway

By Frank Penney • 09 May, 2024

A significant fire engulfed a semi-truck on the 5 Freeway in Los Angeles, generating dense columns of black smoke and leading to substantial traffic congestion. The incident occurred on the southbound lanes of the 5, close to Roxford Street in the Sylmar/Granada Hills vicinity, around 12:20 p.m. on Wednesday. Initial reports suggest that the semi-truck collided with another large vehicle, resulting in immediate ignition. The Los Angeles Fire Department stated that one male driver managed to escape from the burning cabin, with passing motorists stepping in to help extinguish flames on his clothes and body. Sky5 reporter Rich Prickett observed that the driver sustained severe burns. Emergency services swiftly transported the driver to a nearby trauma center, noting the critical nature of his burns. Firefighters grappled with the inferno for nearly 40 minutes until it was finally brought under control. Unfortunately, the semi-truck, laden with meat cargo, suffered irreparable damage. Hazardous materials teams spent the afternoon addressing fuel and oil spills on the truck route. The crash and subsequent fire brought southbound traffic to a standstill, stretching from the Newhall Pass and casting visibility across the entire San Fernando Valley. Despite the extensive impact, authorities have yet to disclose the official cause of the accident.
