Personal Injury
Personal injury lawsuits are filed by the victim of a personal injury against the liable party in order to seek compensation for damages. Personal injury lawsuits can be brought under a variety of circumstances; including car accidents, slip and fall injury, and dog bite injury.
Unfortunately, automobile accidents are responsible for over 3 million injuries a year. The most common of these are car accidents due to drivers becoming distracted and paying less attention while driving their vehicle. This can have serious effects on victims, leaving some seriously injured or permanently hurt and financially devastated. If you are injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your lost wages, medical bills, property damage, pain and suffering, and other related costs.
At The Greaves Law Group, L.L.C., we also handle dog bite incidents. Over 500,000 people are attacked by aggressive dogs. This sometimes results in fatalities. The rate of dog bite-related injuries is highest for children ages 5 to 9 years. Almost two thirds of injuries among children ages four years and younger are to the head or neck region. Although most dogs are not hostile, even the calmest dog can bite.
There are also many cases concerning Premise Liability which involve slip and fall accidents. Slip and fall injuries occur when someone slips, trips, or falls usually because an area is unexpectedly wet or uneven. If you are involved in a slip and fall injury, the property owner may be liable if the slip and fall was preventable or due to negligent and or unsafe conditions. Most homeowner’s insurance policies provide coverage of medical bills for slip and fall regardless of fault. In this case, all you must prove is that you were injured while on the homeowner’s property. These claims are paid by the insurance company and not the actual homeowner.
If you or someone you know has a personal injury claim involving a car accident, dog bite injury, or slip and fall, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Call The Greaves Law Group, L.L.C. for a free evaluation of your claim. There is no cost or obligation for this service.
