Many people who are hurt do not know their rights and are often left to deal with lasting serious physical and psychological injuries without any assistance. This is why it is important for you to contact an attorney right away after you are hurt or injured to explore all your options, help you recover from your ordeal, and vigorously fight for your rights.
When “personal injury” comes to mind, most people think auto accidents. However, a “personal injury” can cover numerous other scenarios where a person is harmed due to another person's negligence or intentional conduct. These may include:
- Vehicle Accidents (including auto, bicycle, motorcycle, pedestrian, highway, bus, train, and truck accidents)
- Wrongful death
- Birth injuries
- Burn injuries
- Construction accidents
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
- Premises liability
- Product liability
- Slip and fall injuries
While the vast majority of personal injuries arise from negligence, personal injury claims can also arise from intentional torts. These can include:
- Assault and battery
- Sexual assault and rape
- Intentional infliction of emotional distress
- False imprisonment and false arrest
