What is a personal injury attorney?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A personal injury case is one where a victim sustains an\ninjury, often physical, due to the negligence or harm by another party or\nparties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harsh Law would like to provide an insight on the four most\ncommon types of personal injuries cases we handle:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Vehicle Accidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year millions of people are injured, sometimes fatally,\nin motor vehicle accidents. In 2018 alone according to the National Safety\nCouncil, over 3.1 million people were injured and 40,000 killed in accidents\ninvolving cars, trucks, motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycle riders. If you\nhave been injured in a motor vehicle accident, either as a driver, a passenger,\nor a pedestrian, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for your personal\ninjuries, financial loss and rehabilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Wrongful Death<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While still categorized under personal injury, as its name\nimplies, the term \u201cwrongful death\u201d describes a type of lawsuit that may be\nbrought when someone has been killed due to someone else\u2019s carelessness.\nMost wrongful death suits arise out of car and truck crashes,\nconstruction accidents, nursing home neglect, medical malpractice, airplane\naccidents, or the use of a defective or dangerous product. A \u201cwrongful death\u201d\nlawsuit allows for the recovery of damages that are unique and different from\nthose available when someone suffers non-fatal injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Premises Liability<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPremises liability\u201d refers to accidents caused by a\ndangerous or defective condition on someone\u2019s land. These accidents can occur\nalmost anywhere, from commercial properties such as grocery stores,\nrestaurants, gas stations, malls and retail stores, to a neighbor\u2019s home or a\npublic or private swimming pool. A critical step is to document the dangerous\nor defective condition as soon as possible after the accident. A wide range of\ndefective or dangerous conditions can give rise to a \u201cpremises liability\u201d claim,\nranging from falling down a staircase because of a missing handrail, to\ntripping over an obstacle or slipping on a spill in a walkway or aisle, to\ngetting bitten by a dog, among many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Products Liability<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dangerous and defective products can cause serious\ninjury. Improper warnings, operation manuals and outdated safety mechanisms can\nalso lead to injuries. Examples of product liability cases include dangerous\ndrugs, food, consumer products, and children\u2019s\u2019 products, defective vehicle\nparts, defective medical devices, and products made with known toxic materials\nand chemicals. Responsible parties can be individuals, businesses, or\ngovernment entities who sold, designed, manufactured, or marketed a dangerous\nor defective product. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Types of Personal Injury Cases<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These include nursing home abuse or neglect; aviation and\nboating accidents; animal and dog bites; brain, birth, burn and spinal cord\ninjuries; and other catastrophic accidents and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
