Types of Personal Injuries We Handle

Personal injuries are defined as those that occur in an accident due to negligence or an intentional act. They can happen in:

Auto accidents: Injuries and fatalities from a motor vehicle accident commonly include negligence such as drunk or distracted driving, failure to abide by traffic laws, etc.
Bicycle accidents: Accidents with motor vehicles or poor road maintenance, lack of signage, and other neglect can occur.
Boating accidents can be caused by defective equipment, a negligent boater, or poor maintenance.
Livestock accidents: Owners must keep their horses or cows safe in enclosures to avoid collisions with motor vehicles. The owner may be liable for damages if a horse or other animal causes an accident.
Motorcycle crashes: Motorcycle riders can be injured or killed by a negligent motorist or on poorly maintained roads.
Pedestrian injuries: Pedestrians are among the least protected, and an accident with a negligent motorist, motorcyclist, or others can cause severe injuries or fatalities.
Road defects: Road defects such as missing signs, defective traffic lights, potholes, and other problems can lead to accidents. In these cases, the government entity responsible for the road's upkeep may be liable.
Traumatic brain injuries: Traumatic brain injuries can be among the most devastating. Some can require long-term care and result in permanent disability.
Truck accidents: Big rigs and other trucks can cause many fatalities and serious injuries when in an accident because of their size and weight.
Wrongful deaths: A claim for wrongful death may be filed if a loved one was lost because of negligence by another individual or entity.
