How an Attorney Can Help You With a Personal Injury Case
Being injured by someone else’s negligence can be an overwhelming experience. In some cases, you will be entitled to compensation. Here’s how a lawyer helps you with this:
- An attorney will conduct a thorough investigation into the circumstances of your accident, gathering as much evidence as possible to prove that your injury was caused by someone else’s negligence. This usually includes police reports, witness statements, medical records, expert witness reports, and video footage.
- Lawyers handle all communications with insurance companies on your behalf. Insurance adjusters are known to use deceitful tactics to try to minimize payouts. Having an attorney gives you the best chance of obtaining an appropriate settlement offer.
- Experienced attorneys can calculate damages beyond just immediate medical expenses – they can also help you figure out what your future needs are and what you may be entitled to for your emotional pain and suffering caused by your injuries.

Common Types of Personal Injury Claims
Personal injury claims arise from a variety of situations where individuals suffer harm due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions. Understanding the most common types can help you recognize if you have a valid claim. Here are some frequent personal injury claims:
- Car Accidents: These claims stem from collisions between vehicles caused by negligent driving behavior, such as distracted driving, speeding, or driving under the influence.
- Slip and Fall Injuries: When individuals sustain injuries on someone else’s property due to unsafe conditions – like wet floors or broken stairs – they may pursue a slip and fall claim against the property owner for failing to maintain their property.
- Medical Malpractice: Patients who incur injuries due to negligent treatment by healthcare providers can file medical malpractice claims seeking compensation for damages from ineffective care. Examples include misdiagnosis, delayed diagnosis, performing surgery on the wrong site, or medication errors.
- Workplace Injuries: Employees injured while performing job-related tasks may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits. Additionally, if another party is liable (like a manufacturer for an injury caused by defective equipment), the injured party may be able to explore third-party liability lawsuits.
- Product Liability: These claims arise when consumers are injured by defective or unsafe products. Manufacturers, distributors, or retailers may be held liable if they fail to ensure the safety of their products through design flaws, manufacturing defects, or insufficient warnings about potential dangers.
- Dog Bites: If a dog bites someone, the victim can file a personal injury claim against the pet owner for medical costs and other damages. In Arizona, dog bite claims are governed by strict liability, meaning an owner is liable for dog bite injuries even if they were not negligent in any way.
The owner of a dog that bites a person when the person is in or on a public place or lawfully in or on a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, is liable for damages suffered by the person bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of its viciousness.
If you believe you’ve experienced harm due to someone else’s negligence or intentional actions, understanding these common types of personal injury claims is the first step toward seeking justice and compensation for your injuries.
