Common Causes of Personal Injuries
The most common types of personal injury claims include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
These accidents include car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, and they can occur for a wide variety of reasons. Speeding is a common cause of motor vehicle accidents and led to the deaths of nearly 10,000 people in 2018, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Distracted driving is also another major cause of car crashes across the United States and includes any type of behavior that takes your focus off the road, although the most common cause these days is cell phone use. Other common causes of accidents include driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol or drowsy driving.
Medical Malpractice
Medical error is another common cause of death and disability in the United States. A Johns Hopkins study, in fact, found that medical error is the third-leading cause of death behind heart disease and cancer.
Premises Liability
Premises liability is when you were hurt because someone did not take proper care of their building or property. In order for the property owner or manager to be responsible for your losses, you must prove that they owed you a duty of care and that they did not take action that a reasonable person would have taken.
Workplace Accidents
According to the National Safety Council, an employee is hurt on the job every 7 seconds in the United States. In 2017, these workplace injuries resulted in a total of 104 million production days lost.
If you are hurt for one of the above reasons or due to another type of accident causing personal injuries, you may have the right to hold the negligent parties responsible for your losses. Contact the Law Offices of Anidjar & Levine at 1-800-747-3733 today for your free consultation.
