When someone else’s carelessness causes an accident in which you’re injured, a personal injury claim can help you achieve justice. These statutes are written to cover a broad range of situations, from auto accidents to cases of medical malpractice, but some injuries are more common than others. Below are some of the leading grounds of personal injury claims.

3 Common Types of Personal Injury Cases

1. Auto Accidents

Every year, over 3 million Americans are injured in auto accidents, many of whom may never fully recover. While some collisions are unavoidable, the majority are caused by a negligent driver who was distracted, intoxicated, or failed to follow the rules of the road. A personal injury claim gives you the power to hold the other party responsible for your medical expenses, lost wages, and other losses.

2. Slips & Falls

Both residential and commercial property owners have a duty to provide a safe environment for guests, visitors, and customers. Broken asphalt, icy sidewalks, spills, and other dangerous conditions can lead to falls and serious, potentially life-changing injuries.

3. Bicycle Accidents

Bicyclists face a variety of hazards, from negligent drivers to broken asphalt and obstructed bike lanes, any of which can cause an accident. Even bikers wearing a helmet can sustain serious injuries, including bruises, cuts, broken bones, and even concussions.
