Common Personal Injuries that May Warrant Legal Action

Last updated 1 year ago

A personal injury case refers to a legal dispute that occurs when one person suffers harm due to an accident or injury. In some cases, a personal injury case may be the result of negligence on the part of another individual or corporation. In order to gain compensation for their injuries, many individuals choose to consult with a personal injury lawyer.

Automobile Accidents

There are a number of personal injuries that may warrant legal action, including car accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. Individuals who are injured in an automobile accident may be eligible for compensation in the event that the accident was due to the negligent or dangerous actions of another or vehicle malfunctions. However, injured parties often require the assistance of an injury attorney in order to gather the evidence needed to prove that the injury was the result of a negligent action.

Medical Malpractice

Individuals who are the victims of medical malpractice can also take legal action to gain compensation for their injuries. Medical malpractice may include but is not limited to misdiagnosis, delayed emergency treatment, inaccurate administration of medications, and the failure to screen for allergic reactions. Medical malpractice lawsuits are extremely complex and require thorough preparation and investigation—increasing the need for an experienced personal injury attorney.

Slips and Falls

Another common personal injury that may warrant legal action is a slip and fall injury. In order for individuals to have a valid case, they will need to demonstrate that the slip and fall injury was not the cause of their own actions. For example, an individual may have a claim if they slipped and fell in a grocery store due to the negligence of the owner to clean up a spill or place a “wet floor” sign. Individuals may also have a case if they fell due to insufficient lighting at an apartment, uneven cracks on a sidewalk, or broken steps in a stairwell.
