MOST COMMON TYPES OF PERSONAL INJURY CASES

Published On December 9, 2014

When you are planning to hire a personal injury attorney, it can help if you have clarified that the type of case is appropriate for the lawyer’s area of specialization. By recognizing the common types of personal injury cases, it is easier to find the right attorney for your case.

Auto Accidents

Injuries that take place in a car accident are common. Even a minor accident can result in injuries that add up when you visit a doctor. If the other driver is responsible for the accident due to negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.

Injuries from Falling Objects

Although injuries from a construction site or similar location are not expected, an injury that occurs when an object falls on you may allow you to file a personal injury claim. Even if your injuries are minor, you may be able to get help paying for your medical expenses.

Slips and Falls

Slipping in a local grocery store, restaurant or business may result in injuries that are painful and sometimes life-altering. Slips may occur when you walk on a wet floor, slip on ice outside the door of the building or when the floors are slippery for any other reason. Hospital visits and consultations with a doctor to determine the extent of an injury can be expensive. An Orlando personal injury attorney can help when you are injured at a store or business.

Medical Malpractice

Although medical malpractice may not seem like a personal injury case, it does fall into the category of personal injury. The mistakes that are made in a doctor’s office can be very serious or even life-threatening. Filing a medical malpractice case can help pay for some of the high-cost medical bills that may arise after a mistake occurs and you are facing a recovery period.

Personal injury cases often fall into specific categories, such as medical malpractice or auto accidents. By recognizing the cases that an attorney may take, it is easier to find the best professional for your case.
