Car or Motorcycle Accidents
Injuries sustained while you have been involved in a car accident are one of the most common types of accidents. Some of the causes of these accidents include being asleep at the wheel, drunk driving, pedestrian accidents, rear-end collisions, reckless/dangerous driving, and high speed collisions. Whether you are a pedestrian, passenger, or the driver of a vehicle, you may be entitled to compensation from the parties that caused your injuries. Motorcycle accidents in many cases result in serious physical injuries. Often in a motorcycle accident, the driver and passenger are thrown from the motorcycle and suffer substantial injuries. Motorcycle injuries can be caused by collisions with other motorcycles or automobiles, rear-end collisions, reckless/dangerous driving, or pedestrian accidents.
Slip and Fall Claims
Slip and fall claims are those incidents where an individual has fallen on another individual's property and is subsequently injured. These types of claims can occur on almost any type of property imaginable including a sidewalk, home, store, bus terminal, job site, and others. It is important to understand that there may be very important timelines that have to be followed whereby notice must be provided to the property owner that you intend to claim against them. Failure to do so may result in your claim being denied.
Boating and Watersport Accidents
Many boating accidents occur as a result of the failure to follow proper safety procedures. Boating accidents may involve small boats, speed boats, and even larger cruise ships. Watersport activities such as swimming, jet skiing, waterskiing, surfing, and fishing provide for interesting and fun-filled days. These fun activities can, however, lead to injuries resulting from improper training, general negligence, or intoxication.
ATV or Dirt Bike Accidents
All-Terrain vehicles or "ATVs" as they are commonly known, are typically used by adventure seekers on trails, off roads, and other rough terrains. Injuries involving ATVs generally occur as a result.
Bicycle Accidents
Bicycle related injuries can occur in a variety of contexts. Whether you are driving on municipal streets and strike a pothole, are hit by a car, or collide with a pedestrian, you may be entitled to compensation.
Snowmobile, Skiing, and Snowboarding Accidents
Snow and sports can unfortunately be both an exhilarating and dangerous experience. Injuries involving snowmobiles, skiing, and snowboarding can occur for a variety of reasons including ice, improper training, negligence of others, or intoxication. If you have been injured in an accident involving an activity on snow, you may be entitled to compensation from the individual who caused your injuries, a resort, or others.
Airplane Accidents
Airplane accidents constitute one of the most traumatic types of accidents for a person. Aviation law is also one of the more complex areas of law sometimes involving a web of domestic and international laws. Some common airplane related accidents are airline crashes, injuries while in flight from other passengers or baggage, or emergency landings. Some common reasons for injuries sustained while aboard on airplane include pilot error, faulty equipment, lack of maintenance, and negligence by airline staff.
Swimming Accidents
Swimming accidents are caused by many different factors including failure to supervise, improperly trained lifeguards, negligence, electrocution, diving accidents, no warning signs, and inappropriate fencing or pool covering. Swimming accidents can occur in a home pool, public pool, beach, water park, hotel, or other pool.
Farming Accidents
Statistics indicate that many individuals are injured or killed on farms each year. Farming related accidents generally occur as a result of tractors, augers, hay balers, front end loaders, skid steer loaders, and corn pickers.
Faulty Products and Products Liability
Defective products injure a large number of people every year. Tragically, in many cases these injuries could have been avoided if only the product was designed properly, was manufactured properly, or was properly labeled with warnings or instructions on how to use it.
Defective products can include consumer toys, medical devices, prescription drugs, equipment, machinery, automobiles, or other products.
Baby Injuries
One of the most tragic forms of injury is one in which a minor child is involved. Baby injuries can occur in many forums including motor vehicles, at home, at school, or at a friend's house. Injuries to minors can be quite overwhelming both from an emotional perspective as well as financial perspective. Rehabilitation may span a number of years and can be a large financial burden. If your child has been injured, you may be entitled to pursue legal damages for his or her injuries.
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries involve situations where an individual has been seriously injured and may involve permanent disability, longer term medical conditions, and a shorter life expectancy. It is usually a very painful event and
Brain Injuries
Brain injuries can be caused in many ways including a motor vehicle accident, a fall, a strike to the head, or through a medical mistake. A serious brain injury will most likely permanently change an individual's life. A brain injury can have many different affects on an individual including speech impairment, communication issues, perception difficulties, concentration problems, mood changes, memory changes, paralysis, and spastic muscles.
Spinal Injuries
Spinal cord injuries often result from accidents involving motor vehicles, slip and falls, work, or sporting events. Some spinal cord injuries such as those involving whip lash may last for a short period of time. Other injuries can be much more serious and permanent and can impact very major bodily functions.
Paraplegic, Quadriplegic & Paralysis Cases
Paralysis typically involves damage to the human nervous system which results in the ability to move part or all of one's body. Paralysis is caused by many different types of accidents. Two very common types of paralysis cases are paraplegia and quadriplegia. araplegia generally involves an injury to the lower spinal cord and affects both legs as well as the trunk of the body. Quadriplegia involves an injury to the upper spinal cord and affects both legs and both arms as well as the trunk of the body.
