• Car Accidents – this refers to any type of motor vehicle accident involving cars, trucks, SUV's, or other passenger vehicles. A variety of factors, including distracted driving, drunk driving, or reckless behavior, can lead to a devastating accident.
• Truck Accidents – these accidents are particularly hazardous to those involved, due to the size and weight of commercial trucks, semis and 18-wheelers.
• Bicycle Accidents – bicycle accidents typically result from a collision with a motor vehicle. Serious injuries are common in bicycle accidents – especially if the rider is not wearing a helmet.
• Aviation Accidents – whether a commercial airliner, private plane, or helicopter, aviation accidents can occur with any aircraft. A variety of factors can lead to an aviation accident, including mechanical failure, pilot error, or adverse weather conditions.
• Boat Accidents – operator error, mechanical failure, or poor conditions can all result in a boat accident, whether that be an accidental capsizing or a collision with another boat.
• Bus Accidents – driver error, bad road or weather conditions, or mechanical failure can lead to a school, city, or tour bus accident.
• Commercial Vehicle Accidents – these accidents involve vehicles used for commercial purposes, such as delivery trucks or company cars.
• Distracted Driving Accidents – accidents caused by negligent drivers distracted by texting, eating, or talking on the phone can result in catastrophic, lasting consequences to their victims.
• Motorcycle Accidents – motorcycle riders are at a serious disadvantage in any road accident, as they are more difficult to see and lack the extensive protection of a car.
• Pedestrian Accidents – pedestrian accidents refer to any type of accident involving a pedestrian, typically as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle.
• Dog Bites – these can be mild or life-altering, depending on the severity of the attack and the attacking animal's size and strength. Dog bite injuries can range from minor puncture wounds to deep lacerations or amputations, and often require ongoing medical treatment.
• Head Injuries – any type of injury that affects the head, brain, or skull. These injuries can range from mild concussions to skull fractures or brain damage.
• Premises Liability – property owners have a legal responsibility to ensure their premises are safe for visitors, and are therefore liable for any injuries that result from their failure to maintain the property in a reasonable state of repair and warn visitors of any hazards that may be hidden or present.
• Slip and Fall – slick floors, broken stairs, or other hazardous property conditions can cause an individual to slip, trip, or fall, resulting in broken bones, traumatic head or brain injuries, and worse.
• Spinal Cord Injuries – injuries affecting the spinal cord – a vital part of the nervous system – can significantly lower quality of life. Spinal cord injuries can range from mild sprains to partial or total paralysis and chronic pain.
• Wrongful Death – this can include deaths caused by auto accidents, nursing home abuse, medical malpractice, or any type of death that results from another's negligence or wrongdoing.
