Typically, when people think of personal injury attorneys, they think of one thing and one thing only—car and truck accidents. It seems like every five minutes on television we are bombarded with commercials for attorneys standing on top of 18-wheelers talking about how much money they can put into your pocket after an accident. While car and truck accidents are a majority of the work handled by most personal injury attorneys, there are also other types of cases that personal injury or “PI” attorneys handle.
Slip, Trip, and Fall Cases
One type of case not normally associated with personal injury lawyers are slip and fall cases. These injuries typically arise when an individual is on someone else’s property and, because of loose cement, a dropped jar of baby food, or faulty construction, an accident occurs. Typical injuries involve fractured bones, strained backs, dislocated limbs, and serious head injuries.
A key question in these cases is: Did the property owner know or should they have known about the dangerous condition, and did their failure to act cause the injury? Too often, people try to handle these claims directly with property owners, which can lead to missed compensation or medical care.
Dog Bite Claims
Another area where personal injury attorneys are extremely useful is dog bite cases. If someone is bitten by another person’s dog, the dog’s owner may be liable for medical bills and related costs. These cases can be complex, requiring an evaluation of the injury, location, time of the bite, and even the breed of the dog.
Because many people see their pets as family, disputes can become heated quickly. An experienced personal injury attorney can assess the situation, review the dog’s bite history, and build a strong strategy to help the injured party receive the care and compensation they deserve.
Business-Related Accidents
Some businesses promote products or activities that carry inherent risks. Many require participants to sign a release of liability before engaging. However, a signed release does not always protect the business from responsibility.
For example, if a child is injured at an indoor playground due to employee negligence or faulty equipment, the business may still be liable. Personal injury attorneys can review the release, examine the facts, and fight to ensure the injured person receives proper compensation.
More Than Just Car and Truck Accidents
In conclusion, personal injury attorneys handle much more than car accidents. They take on cases involving food poisoning, daycare injuries, product liability, and more.
