WHAT IS PERSONAL INJURY?

Personal injury is the legal term for describing physical or emotional injury caused due to the negligence or wrongful act of another individual, company or other organization.  Personal Injury accidents can be devastating to the injured and their family. When you have been injured due to the careless actions of others, you are entitled to financial compensation for your medical and property expenses, incidental costs caused by the accident and possibly additional compensation to cover future expenses and of the pain and suffering caused by the injury. From automobile accidents to accidental shootings, electrocutions or injuries from fires, and explosions, please contact us to discuss your legal rights.

CASES INVOLVING PERSONAL INJURY

• Accidental Shootings - Shooting injuries occur far too frequently when individuals bring loaded weapons out for display, leave weapons unsecured and accessible by those not trained to safely use them, or mix guns and alcohol in social settings.
• Airplane/Helicopter Crashes - Almost every day, passengers, crew members and persons on the ground are killed or seriously injured in helcopter crashes or other aviation accidents.  After investigation, it is oftentimes determined that the fault may be due to negligence by the charter company or poorly maintained equipment.
• Catastrophic Brain Injuries - Catastrophic brain injuries can impede your ability to walk, talk, or think.  According to the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, unintentional falls are the leading cause of emergency room visits and catastrophic injuries in the United States.
• Daycare and School Injuries - Quality child care should take place in a safe and healthy setting.  Nevertheless, accidents and injuries do occur.  However, while accidents are considered non-intentional, some do involve a degree of negligence due to lack of supervision and can oftentimes be prevented.
• Dog Bites & Animal Attacks - Each year, 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites.  There are also several other types of animals, domesticated or non-domesticated, that can bite or attack humans.  Whether the animal is dangerous or not, the owner may be liable for the damages.
• Electrocution Injuries - Electrocution occures when a person comes into contact with an electrical source.  Human negligence, high-voltage power lines, electrical appliances, and defective or broken machinery are all common sources of electrocution injuries.
• Injury Claims Against the Government - If you are involved in any accident in which a government agency or employee is involved (even in a minimal role), you should file a notice of claim as soon as possible, regardless of whether the government's fault is clear at the time.
• Wrongful Deaths -  When a loved one has been lost, it is difficult to deal with the grief and pain.  It is especially difficult when the death happens as the result of a car wreck by a drunk driver, medical malpractice, dog attack, prescription error or unsafe conditions at work.
