Injury Types
Each accident type below is explained in plain language: what it usually involves, common disputes, early steps most people take, and the factors that tend to matter when a claim is reviewed. Nothing here is legal advice.
Car Accident
What a car accident claim typically involves, where disputes come up, and the factors that usually matter most.
ReadDog Bite
Dog bite claims turn on the rules of the state — strict liability in some, the 'one-bite' rule in others — and on the severity of the injury.
ReadMotorcycle Accident
Motorcycle crashes typically cause severe injuries and run into specific biases when insurers assign fault.
ReadPedestrian Accident
Pedestrians hit by vehicles are nearly always seriously hurt. Claims focus on right-of-way, visibility, and the driver's attention.
ReadSlip and Fall
Slip and fall cases — also called premises liability — turn on whether the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard.
ReadTruck Accident
Commercial truck crashes follow different rules than regular car accidents — larger forces, more regulation, and more possible defendants.
ReadWorkplace Injury
Injuries at work usually go through workers' compensation, which is different from a regular personal injury claim.
ReadWrongful Death
A wrongful death claim allows certain family members to recover damages when someone dies because of another party's negligence.
