What Types of Cases Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cover?

What Types of Cases Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cover?

If you’re reading this, you’re likely here because you’d like to learn more about personal injury lawyers and the types of cases they cover. Well, you’ve come to the right place. As a personal injury law firm, our job is to get justice for our clients in the event that they are hurt while living their everyday lives.

What do we mean by justice, you ask? Well, we believe that if you’re hurt because of somebody else’s actions, you deserve fair compensation for the medical costs, lost wages, and grief incurred by the incident. We fight to get every penny we can from insurance companies who try to turn the other cheek.

In specific, personal injury lawyers can be called upon to work on cases like:

Auto, Motorcycle, and Vehicle Collisions

Recently in a car accident? Acting quickly and consulting a personal injury lawyer is the best way to ensure you get the most compensation you can for your trouble. Believe it or not, you may be entitled to funds that the other party’s insurance agency doesn’t want you to know about.

Underinsured Motorists

What if your case involves an underinsured motorist? Well, personal injury attorneys regularly handle those, too. We use our experience and knowledge of the legal system to get you as much compensation as we can. There are ways to ensure a settlement with the party at fault and have your own insurance company also contribute to the fund.

Pedestrian Accidents

One of the biggest components that slow down pedestrian accident cases is the emotional and physical damage that’s happened to the victim. The most common culprit is distracted driving. If you or someone you love is a pedestrian who was recently injured, call a personal injury lawyer immediately. We’ll handle the back and forth so that you don’t have to.

Premise Liability

It’s no secret that hazards are all around us. The onus is on the property owner to adequately caution visitors and mitigate risks like slip and fall, poor infrastructure, and anything else that has the potential to hurt bystanders. In the event that you do get injured due to someone’s negligence, hiring a personal injury lawyer is one of the best things you can do for your financial wellbeing.

Product Liability

And the responsibility to protect the public isn’t just confined to falls. Companies must adhere to strict standards when marketing their products. Occasionally, there are major slip-ups where a product is defective. This can lead to major injury and or death, depending on the nature of the defect. As personal injury lawyers, it’s our duty to protect you in this category as well.

Drunk Driver/Drug Impaired Injury Accident

We’ve known for years the life-shattering potential that drunk and/or drug-impaired driving has on the world. All it takes is a chance encounter on the street to make one bad decision a permanent reality. We cannot reverse the damage done, but we can do our best to maximize the compensation you receive in the event of this type of incident by handling any civil claims.

Wrongful Death

Nothing can heal the wounds left behind from a wrongful death case. Essentially, if someone loses their life due to the negligence of a third party, it’s considered a wrongful death. The individual’s beneficiaries have a right to make a claim for compensation on behalf of the deceased. A personal injury lawyer can facilitate the claim process and help it come to fruition.

Dog Bites

The truth is, not everyone trains or treats their dogs the way that they should. This results in animals that are more a public hazard than they are a cute companion. Dog bites happen every day and can bring with them disease and other unwanted side effects along with the wound itself. If you or a member of your family has been attacked by a dog, you may be eligible to make a claim against its owner.

If you fall under any of the categories listed above, please do not hesitate to reach out to a personal injury lawyer. We are here to help every way we can. Firm founder Ashley Rawlins of Rawlins Law Accident & Injury Attorneys in San Diego provides honest, ethical, and compassionate representation, and she will give you clear information on where your case stands and what she needs from you to win it!  The sooner you call, the better.
