3 Common Personal Injury Cases

An injury can leave you dealing with physical pain and unable to work or pay your bills. If you sustain an injury, it is important that you get the medical care you need in order to achieve your maximum recovery. You also want to make sure to hold the responsible party accountable for the damages so that your finances do not suffer.

You should understand the specifics of your case and research the best options for recourse. Different kinds of injuries have different legal implications.

1. Car accidents 
   Car accidents are one of the most common causes of injury. According to the South Carolina Department of Public Safety, a traffic collision takes place every 3.7 minutes. Many of these all-too-frequent crashes cause serious injuries. If you have been involved in an auto accident, seek out medical care as soon as possible—even if you are not suffering any pain at that moment. Unless you have a clean bill of health from a doctor, there is no guarantee that you did not sustain bruising or soft tissue injuries that could lead to greater harm if left untreated.
2. Medical malpractice
   When you see a doctor or other medical professional, you would never expect that their care would harm you rather than help you. Unfortunately, however, this is the case when medical malpractice occurs. Doctors are like any other professional in their susceptibility to error, but when your health and well-being are on the line, these mistakes can cause lifelong consequences.
3. Slips and falls
   Slip-and-fall accidents are yet another common cause of injury. These can happen anywhere—at work, at a store or in public. When there is a major hazard such as a spill and whoever is responsible carelessly leaves it unattended, everyone who passes is at risk of an accident. Such negligence is a liability, and you should not be saddled with the expense and consequences of such an injury.
