A personal injury is any type of injury to your body, mind, or emotions. When a person suffers a physical or emotional injury because of another party’s negligence or intentional conduct, they can file a claim against that other person. Personal injury cases may arise in any number of ways, such as:
- Truck accidents
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Bike accidents
- Bus accidents
- Slip and falls
- Dog bites
- Medical malpractice
- Products liability (dangerous or defective products)
- Pedestrian accidents
- Swimming pool injuries
- Wrongful death
If you have been injured due to another person’s actions or failure to act, then you may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit. This is true for situations where you have suffered a physical injury as well as cases where you suffered an emotional injury. A skilled California personal injury attorney can evaluate your case and help you determine if you are able to file a claim.
