Common Causes of Serious Injuries
A serious injury claim can occur for many reasons, such as:
- Vehicle accidents: You could be involved in an accident involving an automobile, truck, bus, or motorcycle resulting from the negligence of another driver.
- Slips and falls: You might be visiting a neighbor and experience a severe injury when slipping on the ice on their front porch.
- Medical malpractice:Â You may receive advice or undergo a treatment regimen prescribed by a doctor that worsens your condition.
- Pedestrian accidents: An injury can occur when you’re walking down the street. A drunk driver could strike you when they stray onto the sidewalk or run a stop sign or red light. A neighbor’s dog may jump the fence and attack you as you pass by.
- Defective products: In many cases, the household products and other items we use daily are safe. However, a mistake resulting from the manufacturer’s negligence can lead to a serious injury.
- Violent crime:Â You could become the victim of an assault, robbery, shooting, or another criminal act that causes a significant injury.
A capable serious injury attorney can determine whether you may be entitled to damages and devise an effective legal strategy to pursue financial recovery.
