A personal injury lawyer can help families recover after being injured or involved in an accident. Who needs an injury attorney and how can you find one? Here’s what you need to know. 

Car Accident Victims 

Car accident claims are one of the most common types of personal injury claims. Motor vehicle collisions can be serious and result in critical injuries that can leave someone partially or fully disabled and in chronic pain for the rest of their life. Even seemingly minor injuries like whiplash can interfere with a person’s ability to live life normally. 

Bicycle and Pedestrian Accident Victims 

If you or a loved one were the victim of a bicycle or pedestrian accident, having a personal injury attorney on your side is one of your best assets. Because pedestrians  and bicyclists are poorly protected in an accident, their injuries tend to be more severe and in many cases, fatal. 

Slip and Fall Victims 

While some slip and falls result in no more than a few bumps and bruises, others cause broken bones, head injuries, and death. More often than not, slip and fall accidents are the result of negligence; for example, a grocery store that fails to clean up a spill on the floor in a timely fashion, causing you to slip on the unseen substance and become injured when you fall. 

Medical Malpractice Victims 

Medical malpractice occurs when a physician fails to provide adequate care for a patient to whom they owe a duty of care. This can take the form of failure to order the proper diagnostic tests for the patient, failure to accurately interpret them, and even misdiagnosing them. 

Other Victims 

Anyone that has suffered harm due to the carelessness of another person can benefit from working with a personal injury lawyer. Victims of dog bites, work injuries, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, nursing home abuse, and other types of injuries can pursue compensation for damages like medical bills, lost wages, and physical and/or emotional anguish with the help of a seasoned accident attorney.
