The Most Common Personal Injury Accidents In The United States

 Motor Vehicle Accidents

Automobile accidents in our nation are perhaps one of the most common incidents that can occur. The reason for this is because of the          necessity for our population to get from point A to B and maybe even C. Even though our big metropolitan cities enjoy the benefits of public  transportation, when you add those motor vehicles alongside personal cars and SUV’s the probability of an accident does indeed increase.

Unfortunately, a combination with the number of cars that are on the road, alongside a combination of irresponsible driving, inflict a mass amount of grief on the affected accident victims. More specifically, car accidents are the leading cause of fatality rates in regards to personal injury accidents. It was reported in 2019 there were a total of 3,273 deaths because of car-related accidents. These are moments of pain and suffering that deserve to be accurately compensated for their worth.

After your accident and after you’ve received the necessary medical attention at the accident scene, you will need to gather a couple of things. It is crucial to get the contact information of the person at fault that caused your accident. This would include name, date of birth, insurance provider, and license plate number.

Once the police arrive on the scene, it is important to take photographs of the damages created to both your car and any physical injuries as well. Once local authorities are present make sure that they provide you with a detailed accident report that can give faith on what exactly happened. This accident report is very important because it will be added to the compelling evidence of your future injury claim

Defective Products

Defective product liability is a very area of tort law that focuses on injury accidents that have caused harm to a consumer who purchases a product. The issue arises when the consumer proceeds to utilize the object in the way that is prescribed in the instructions but in that process, it manages to harm the individual who is manipulating and any other person in the vicinity

Many states have strict liability laws that exemplify the incidence of damages to the plaintiff. In this particular type of case, it needs to be proven that the manufacturer failed to ensure the safety of the individual. By doing so, the manufacturer affirmed that there would not be a possible cause of something wrong with the object resulting in a possible injury.

Substantial, compelling, and factual evidence that the manufacturer breached their responsibility or code of duty to the consumer can be found culpable along with evidence of physical damages caused by that same malfunction, will automatically make the manufacturer liable for the damages.

Medical negligence 

Were you aware that a healthcare professional can be held liable for a personal injury accident in the event of a poor diagnosis, medical inaction, or illness that becomes worse at the expense of a decision? These actions have to factually point towards or contribute directly to the victim’s cause of death that leads to a patient’s death.

However, it must be proven that throughout that diagnosis or medical performance any malignant action could have been prevented in a normal setting. In other words, medical malpractice can be proven if and only if there is factual evidence that another health care professional has done the same practice with no deathly results in the past on record.

Slip & Falls

A slip and fall accident is labeled by medical and legal experts as an instance where a person, unfortunately, suffers a trip or slip in a public or private area. Due to the fall, the individual proceeds to sustain mild to severe trauma on areas of their body.

Just like any other personal injury accident, slips and falls are also triggered by a failure of maintaining a standard of responsibility. There are principles that need to be upheld at all times by the owners of said establishments. The reason for this is because it is their duty to ensure the safety of anybody that is through their doors.

Public places like supermarkets, retail spaces, offices and restaurants, retail stores, and office spaces are common places where people suffer the most amount of slip and falls on an average basis. However, it’s not just public places where these events can occur. Private residences are also known for negligent slip and fall accidents if and only if the person who fell was legally invited into the home.

If the person was unlawfully within the building and became injured trying to trespass then the property owner will not be found liable. This does not mean though that property owners can leave booby traps for the protection of their homes. If you fear for the security of your home, you have every right to install security cameras and other programs.

Let’s go back to the topic at hand. If you are indeed a victim of a slip and fall, you will have to make a note of your surroundings. The most important thing to do right after the fall is to request medical attention for your injuries. Even if you feel like you are not in danger, it is important to get checked out as soon as possible because the pain tends to creep in afterward on some occasions.

Be advised that if you do not go to the doctor’s office in a maximum of 14 days from the first day of your accident you will not be able to pursue an injury claim any longer. Having said that, please make sure that this does not happen to you.

Nonetheless, at the scene of the accident, it will be important to make sure that you take pictures of what caused your accident and then request that the owner fill out an accident report. From that point forward, your legal battle will soon begin.
