What Types of Cases Fall Under Personal Injury Law?

May 1, 2023

 

Personal injury law is broad. Any type of injury caused by the negligent behavior of a person or entity falls under personal injury law. There are various categories you should learn about when determining if you need a personal injury law firm to represent your case. This article will take a look at what falls under this type of law and give you an understanding of the services offered at Sarkisian Law Offices.

 

Automobile Accidents

 

Automobile accidents are the most common type of personal injury. According to Injured Call Today, a free resource that can help people make appointments with board-certified doctors, auto accidents are the most common cause of injury in personal injury cases and make up 52% of them. These accidents include anything from a car crash to being hit by a motorcycle. Talk to an attorney experienced in car accident claims if you've been injured in an automobile accident, as you may be entitled to compensation.

 

Premises liability are accidents caused by defective or dangerous conditions on someone's property. These accidents can happen anywhere from private properties, such as someone's home, to commercial properties like malls, restaurants, or grocery stores. It's important to work with a law firm to protect your rights as you pursue compensation for your injuries.

This type of claim arises when one party dies because of another person’s negligent actions. These cases are only allowed to be brought before a court by the victim's family, referred to in the court of law as the survivors. Be sure to reach out to your local law firm to learn more about this type of case and what your family may be owed.
