Written by Adam Peck Category: Personal Injury October 11th, 2016 2 min read

Wikipedia defines personal injury as “a legal term for an injury to the body, mind or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property.” It’s important to know the various kinds of personal injury cases and what to do in case you or a loved one are ever involved with one.

3 Types of Personal Injury

Auto Accident – A drive may be injured due to no fault of their own. The other driver may have intentionally or unintentionally caused the accident. They may have fell asleep at the wheel, been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or simply got distracted. If the accident wasn’t your fault, you can file a claim against the responsible driver.

Medical Malpractice – A doctor or medical practitioner has a duty to provide us with fair services, including the right diagnosis, treatment, and medicine. If a doctor ever takes advantage of a patient or doesn’t provide services under the law, he or she can have legal actions taken against them.

Slip and Fall – Owners of public places such as stores and restaurants have an obligation to maintain a safe premises. If someone slips or falls at their place of business, the owner may be liable for any injuries that person sustains.
