Dog Bite Injuries
Every year, there are over four million dog bite cases nationwide. Dog bites can lead to long-term, crippling injuries and should not be ignored or treated lightly. These include nerve damage, scars, and loss of flesh, not to mention the huge medical bills.
Victims are also often bitten by dogs of family, friends, or neighbors, and they might not want to file a lawsuit because of that. They shouldn’t worry, however, since the dog owners’ home insurance policy covers injuries caused by a dog attack.
If you have been bitten by a dog, you should consider seeing a doctor or going to the emergency room immediately. Afterward, you can consult with our lawyers on legal options and how to handle the claim without ruining relationships.
Slip or Trip and Fall Injuries
People may slip and fall any day, but there has to be negligence from the property owner to make a personal injury claim. Property owners can be owners of shops, restaurants, offices, and even residences or yards.
They are responsible for ensuring the area is safe for others. Otherwise, they must warn you about any hazardous conditions. If a property owner fails to perform their duty, a slip and fall injury can be pursued.
As an example, if a grocery store fails to find a spilled liquid or anything that can cause someone to slip within a reasonable time, they are liable for a person’s injuries from stepping on the slippery area.
