5 Types Of Personal Injuries That Call For An Attorney’s Services

1. Auto Accidents

When a careless driver causes an auto accident that injures you, a personal injury attorney will help you collect damages. You can be compensated for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.

2. Workers’ Compensation 

Injuries at work are generally covered by workers’ compensation, but insurance companies may deny or underpay valid claims. Employees often hire workers’ compensation attorneys to fight for full benefits.  

3. Medical Malpractice

Medical professionals must meet certain standards of care, and if they don’t and injure their patients, they are liable for monetary damages. These complex personal injury cases require expert witnesses and experienced attorneys.

4. Premises Liability

Personal injury claims can arise from accidents on someone else’s property. Owners of apartment complexes that provide playgrounds for residents and retail stores that invite the public in for business purposes are among those subject to claims for injuries due to unsafe conditions. 

5. Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are personal injury cases in which fatalities occur. Auto accidents, on-the-job injuries, medical malpractice, and accidents on a landowner’s premises can all result in wrongful death claims.
