When to know you have a personal injury case

You have a personal injury case when someone directly or indirectly puts you in the way of harm and you end up actually sustaining injuries to your body or mind.

Personal injury is given by the fact that you were owed a duty of care by a party and that party failed to offer you that civil obligation; by so doing, they compromised your safety.

Let us now briefly look at common types of personal injury cases.

Types of personal injury cases

Personal injury cases include but are not limited to the following:

• Product liability: Manufacturers are not expected to distribute defective products that could cause harm. If you use a product and get hurt because there is a defect, then you are in your right to sue the company for personal injury.

• Premises liability: A typical example of premises liability is a slip and fall. Slip and falls are most common in properties in which snow or water is carelessly left on the floor. Property owners should keep their premises safe, functional and free from exposed harmful substances that may cause harm to visitors, passersby, customers, and so on.

• Medical malpractice: There is said to be medical malpractice when you get harmed because your doctor offers you treatment that is below standard, or refuses to treat you first before asking for money despite seeing you are in a critical condition.

• Car accidents: Car accidents are the most frequently filed cases of personal injury. We all know lots of accidents happen daily on the road and sometimes one or more drivers are to blame. If you sustain serious or catastrophic injuries such as dismemberment, disfigurement, fracture, brain injury, loss of pregnancy, permanent or temporary disability for up to 90 days of the 180 days after the incident, or even death of a loved one from such an accident, then you can sue the driver that is responsible. If your injuries are not serious, then the vehicle insurance would suffice to provide coverage.

• Dog bites: Some dogs supposedly kept as pets sometimes display aggression. In New York, if a dog which has shown aggression or have once bitten someone bites someone else in the future, the owner is liable for personal injury. This is because they are obliged by law to restrain such a dog which has prior shown a history of aggression, even once.

• Construction site accidents: As a construction worker, if you sustain a serious injury while working because adequate PPE or safety measures were not offered you by your employers, then you can sue them for personal injury.

• Nursing home negligence: Under-staffing, under-qualified staffing, lack of adequate training and negligence in nursing homes can lead to your elderly loved one getting harmed. The nursing home becomes liable.
