Car, Truck, and Motorcycle Accidents
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 3,000,000 people suffer injuries as a result of motor vehicle accidents every year in the United States. Accidents on the roadways often prove legally challenging because determining liability must occur. When multiple-car pile-ups happen, trucking accidents occur, or simply passenger vehicle accidents, there must be a complete investigation to determine which party (or parties) remained responsible and liable for any injuries to others. The laws surrounding accidents on the roadways can prove legally complex and challenging as well as ever-changing. In many cases, a victim will seek out the legal advice of a Long Beach personal injury lawyer to ensure their legal rights remain protected.
Slip and Fall Accidents
Slip and fall accidents fall under a section of law known as premises liability law. This law requires that all homeowners, property owners, and business owners have a legal responsibility to ensure that their property remains free from hazards or dangerous conditions. The failure of a property owner to ensure that their property remains safe for guests, visitors, or customers can result in serious and catastrophic injuries or even fatalities.
Medical Malpractice
Every medical practitioner and healthcare provider has a legal responsibility to ensure that they provide proper care established by medical guidelines to their patients. Medical malpractice can include misdiagnosis, incorrect prescription medications, failure to follow proper protocol in surgeries or medical treatments or any other type of negligence with respect to the medical care of a patient. Medical malpractice can occur not only in physician offices but also by dentists, hospitals, nurses, chiropractors, physical therapists, or any other healthcare provider that offers medical care.
Dog Bites
Many people simply do not realize how serious dog bite injuries are. In many cases, dog bite injuries require extensive reconstruction surgeries, hospitalization, and life-long medical challenges. When a victim falls or suffers extensive damage as a result of the dog bite, they may have substantial medical bills, loss of wages due to their inability to return to work, and pain and suffering. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), injuries occurring from dog bites result in thousands of emergency room visits every year.
Product Liability Claims
Every manufacturer and distributor of a product placed in the stream of commerce has a duty and responsibility to ensure that that product remains safe for human use and/or consumption. Failure to do so can result in a product liability claim. Product liability claims occur when the user of a product suffers injuries as a result of the use of the product in the manner in which it was originally intended.
Product liability law is a strict liability law, meaning that the victim only needs to prove that the items were somehow defective or malfunctioning in some way. If you suffered injuries as a result of a defective or malfunctioning product, you may have extensive medical bills, lost wages, loss of future wages, and pain and suffering.
