Personal injury lawyers cover a wide variety of cases. It’s essential to understand what a personal injury lawyer’s job entails before seeking legal guidance. To better help, the Law Office of Stanley A. Davis team put together this list to give you an insight into what a typical personal injury lawyer covers. Here are the most common personal injury claims.
Car Accidents
According to the IIHS, Tennessee sees about 80,000 crashes a year. Sadly, a majority of these accidents happen due to another person's negligence. It’s always advised to seek a personal injury attorney if you’re looking to seek compensation for your injuries.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice is more common than people think. A medical professional’s negligence can lead to a world of injuries and even death. Some of the most common forms of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, surgical errors, pharmacy errors, and birth injuries.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere, but they are most common in the workplace. If your accident resulted from someone else’s negligence and could have been preventable, it may be best to seek compensation for your injuries.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death lawsuits are brought up when someone has died due to the negligence of another. These types of cases are usually carried out by the spouse or close relative of the deceased. These lawsuits involve motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and nursing home neglect.
Product Liability
Defective products can be hazardous and can even result in a wrongful death case. Attorneys see a variety of product liability cases involving dangerous children’s toys and products, defective vehicle parts, and unsafe consumer products. Those injured may seek compensation from those who distributed, designed, manufactured, or marketed the product.
