Types of Serious Injuries

Personal injury accidents can occur in various situations and due to numerous causes. These accidents often result in harm or injury to an individual and can lead to legal claims for compensation. Common causes of personal injury accidents include:

  • Auto Accidents: This includes car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, and bicycle accidents. These can result from factors like speeding, reckless driving, impaired driving (e.g., drunk or drugged driving), distracted driving (e.g., texting while driving), and adverse weather conditions.
  • Slip and Fall Accidents: These accidents occur when a person slips, trips, or falls due to hazardous conditions, such as wet floors, uneven surfaces, poorly maintained premises, or insufficient warning signs.
  • Workplace Accidents: Injuries can occur in the workplace due to various causes, including equipment malfunctions, lack of safety precautions, inadequate training, and exposure to hazardous materials.
  • Construction Accidents: Construction sites are inherently dangerous, and accidents can result from factors like falling objects, scaffolding collapses, machinery accidents, and electrocution.
  • Medical Malpractice: Medical errors, misdiagnoses, surgical mistakes, and medication errors can lead to personal injury claims against healthcare providers.
  • Defective Products: Injuries caused by defective or dangerous products, such as faulty machinery, contaminated food, or poorly designed consumer goods, can result in product liability claims.
  • Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: When a person is bitten or attacked by a dog or other animal, the owner or caretaker can be held liable for injuries.
  • Premises Liability: Property owners may be liable for injuries that occur on their premises due to unsafe conditions, including inadequate security, slip and falls, or accidents in public places.
  • Recreational Accidents: Injuries sustained during recreational activities, such as sports, amusement park rides, or water sports, can lead to personal injury claims, especially if negligence is involved.
  • Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect: Elderly individuals may suffer harm due to abuse or neglect in nursing homes, leading to personal injury claims against the facility and staff.
  • Product Liability: Injuries resulting from defects in consumer products, pharmaceuticals, or medical devices can lead to claims against the manufacturers or distributors.
  • Boating Accidents: Accidents on the water, including collisions, capsizing, and accidents involving personal watercraft, can result in personal injury claims.

client reviews

We are proud to have over 200 5-star reviews

This firm is 100% reliable and trustworthy.

No question about it, this firm is 100 percent reliable and trustworthy. I felt very comfortable about continuing my case with this firm based on the first impression they gave me: professional.

Jose L.

Extremely competent and really cared about our family.

The law firm provided us complete guidance and direction in our legal matter, but at the same time, they didn’t make our decisions for us. It sure was nice to have confidence in knowing we were going to be taken care of.

Andrea and Larry W.

This firm has a great reputation, even amongst other lawyers.

I was referred to by a lawyer friend and had Richard Cohn as my attorney. He was personable and compassionate, and took his time explaining everything to me. His assistant was also very personable and easy to contact.

Personal injury accidents can vary widely in severity, from minor injuries to catastrophic harm. Legal actions may be pursued to seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other damages resulting from these accidents. The specific cause of the accident and the circumstances surrounding it play a crucial role in determining liability and the potential for a successful personal injury claim.
