Personal injury cases include any form of harm that comes to your physical health or finances and is caused by another party.
Some common personal injuries include:
Physical harm
Serious loss of finances
Disability
Health problems or illness caused by an injury
Worsening of an existing health condition
Death
Given that these injuries are often the fault of another party, many people file legal claims to get compensation that will help offset the cost of injuries and loss.
The guidance of an experienced law firm is crucial to maximizing the amount of compensation received in your case.
Ready to Get Started?
If you or a loved one was harmed by another party, a personal injury lawyer can help you understand your legal options.
In a personal injury case, you seek justice and financial compensation from the defendant(s) who caused you harm.
Your claim must show that your injuries were the fault of the defendant (people or companies). In some cases, you may need to prove that the other party was negligent.
Negligence can be anything the other party could have done to prevent your injuries but did not. Their failure to protect you could mean they are at fault.
At Sokolove Law, our lawyers have the resources and experience needed to increase your chances of a favorable outcome.
Even a simple medical mistake can lead to permanent issues or death. For example, if a doctor makes a misdiagnosis, a patient may receive unnecessary or improper treatment. Many mistakes happen in the emergency room,
In these instances, you may be able to hold the hospital or the health care worker responsible for your injuries accountable through a malpractice lawsuit.
2. Auto Accidents
Unfortunately, car accidents are all too common. Tens of thousands of people are killed in automobile accidents each year, while many others sustained serious injuries. Even minor accidents can leave people with long-term physical and mental health issues.
Auto accidents can also cause a large financial burden. Medical expenses, lost wages if unable to work, and the cost to repair your car can add up quickly.
Fortunately, those who were injured in auto accidents have several ways to seek compensation.
Commercial vehicle accidents can include tractor-trailers, semi-trucks, delivery vans, rideshare vehicles, and buses.
Accidents involving commercial vehicles — especially trucks — can be particularly deadly.
These vehicles weigh 20-30 times as much as cars and can take longer to brake or change lanes, putting passengers in lighter vehicles at a disadvantage in collisions and resulting in more severe injuries.
While accidents involving large trucks or commercial vehicles occur for a variety of reasons, many are preventable and are often the result of trucking companies violating safety standards to maximize profits.
4. Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries are a type of personal injury that result in significant, often irreversible damage to a person’s body or mental well-being.
These can happen at any time, such as during a sports game, from an unexpected assault, or through a severe slip and fall.
Catastrophic injuries can include:
Amputation
Permanent brain damage
Third-degree burns
Concussions
Disfigurement
Spinal cord injuries
Death
These injuries often come out of nowhere, devastating you and your family in the process. The building collapse in Surfside, Florida is a tragic example.
The high costs associated with the treatment of these injuries — surgeries, medication, and rehabilitation — can add even more distress.
5. Workplace Injuries
According to the National Safety Council (NSC), approximately 4.6 million people are injured on the job each year. Around 12,600 workers get hurt every single day.
While workers compensation plans can help many victims get back on their feet, the sad truth is that some workplace injuries could have and should have been avoided.
In addition to these physical injuries, you may be able to file a lawsuit if you have been wrongfully denied workers compensation or if your employer commits wage violations.
6. Consumer Fraud
Consumers may be the victims of fraud if their brokers or advisers made negligent or intentionally poor financial decisions on their behalf. As a result, the consumer has lost their hard-earned money or is denied money that they may need.
Dogs that are not kept on leashes or that escape their enclosures may attack unsuspecting individuals without warning. Even dogs on a leash may pose a threat. Children and seniors are at a higher risk of getting bitten by a dog.
Dog bite lawsuits may be able to be filed against the owner of the dog.
