  1. Have you suffered any injuries caused by someone? Were you involved in an accident because of someone else’s negligence?

  2. Personal injury law is a tort lawsuit where the plaintiff got injured because of the wrongful actions of someone else. Most of the personal injuries happen due to the negligence of another party.

  3. The main aim of a personal injury lawsuit is to receive compensation from the one who caused the injury or harm. In simple terms, personal injury law aims to right any wrongs that others have caused.

  5. Common Types of Personal Injury Cases Vehicle Accidents Car accidents are the most common cause of personal injury cases in the United States. Over 1000 people get injured every day due to crashes involving a distracted driver. In 2015 alone, the total number of people injured due to distracted driving was more than 391,000!

  6. Anyone can suffer an injury in a vehicle accident. However, if it’s the fault of another party, you can consult a personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal options. Medical Malpractice Medical malpractice involves injuries inflicted due to the carelessness of medical practitioners. It can range from misdiagnosis to surgical errors. These cases are very complex, and you should consider hiring an attorney as soon as possible.

  7. Slip & Fall Slip and fall case is another common type of personal injury case. Property owners have legal obligations to keep their property free of hazards. However, anyone can slip on a spill and fall in a store, sidewalk, or even private residence. Personal injury attornies can investigate and determine if the property owner’s oversight led to the injury.

  8. Dog Bites The laws for owner responsibility for dog bites vary from state to state. However, in most dog bite cases, the owner of the dog is going to be liable for dog bite damages. If you get attacked by a dog, you should hire an attorney because cases are complex.

  9. Wrongful Death Any death resulting from the negligence or misconduct of another falls under “Wrongful death.” It can arise from construction accidents, neglect at a nursing home, car accident, and more. The wrongful death laws aim to provide financial support for widows and orphans.

  10. End Words Whether you got into an accident by a drunk driver, a fall on a wet floor or medical malpractice, you should get compensation for the damage. These can include medical costs, lost income, pain, suffering, diminished earning capacity, and negative impact on your lifestyle.

However, an experienced Virginia personal injury attorney like Mark Thomas Crossland, P.C. can evaluate your claim, help you identify all responsible parties, and seek the full measure of damages.
