A personal injury case generally rises from the suffering
of a personal injury through the fault of another. Personal injury cases
can arise from automobile accidents, slip and falls, trip and falls,
professional malpractice and other injuries when suffered through the fault
of another.
Automobile Accidents:
Generally, there is insurance which may pay for the
damages suffered in an automobile accident. Your insurance or the insurance
company of the car you are traveling in may pay certain expenses no matter
who’s at fault. However, such insurance coverage is generally limited and
normally only pays for medical expenses, and sometimes, lost wages.
When someone else is at fault, the injured party may be
able recover monies for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages
including pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, from the
at-fault part and their insurance company.
Slip and Fall/Trip and Fall
If you are injured while on another’s property, you may
be able to make a recovery for injuries suffered if the owner of the
property was negligent in maintaining the property. If such negligence
exists, you may be able to recover monies for medical expenses, lost wages
and other damages including pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of
life, from the at-fault part and their insurance company.
Even if the owner of the property was not negligent, you
may be able to make a recovery against the owner’s insurance policy for your
medical bills, and sometimes, lost wages.
Professional Malpractice
If you are injured as a result of the negligence of a
doctor or dentist or other professional, you may be able to make a recovery
against that professional. Generally, you may be able to recover the
damages that you have suffered as a result of that negligence.
Dog Attack
If you injured or attacked by a dog, you may be able
recover monies for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages including
pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, from the dog’s owner and
their home owner’s insurance company.
Pedestrian Strike
Generally, there is insurance which may pay for the
damages suffered if you are struck by an automobile. Your insurance or the
insurance company of the car you were struck by may pay certain expenses no
matter who’s at fault. However, such insurance coverage is generally
limited and normally only pays for medical expenses, and sometimes, lost
wages.
When someone else is at fault, the injured party may be
able recover monies for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages
including pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, from the
at-fault part and their insurance company.
