3 Common Types of Personal Injury Cases You Should Know About

At some point in your life, you have probably heard the term personal injury. This is a legal term that includes several types of injuries. While there are many unique situations that can fall under the umbrella of personal injury, there are some instances that are much more prevalent than others. Here are 3 common types of personal injury cases you should know about:

1. Automobile Accidents

At The Law Office of Stephen A. Burroughs, our focus is on personal injury law. One of the most common injury claims we handle is automobile accidents. When you find yourself in a car accident, you may not know exactly what to do. Insurance companies begin calling and the other driver may try to pin the accident on you, when in fact you weren’t the one responsible. If you are injured in the crash, it becomes even more difficult to handle the circumstances. Not only do you have to deal with your physical injuries, but also medical bills, lost wages, vehicle repairs, and other challenges. Our team of lawyers can help you receive what you are entitled to in regards to all your car wrecks.

2. Wrongful Death

Wrongful death is one of the most severe types of personal injuries cases because it involves the death of a person due to the negligence of someone else. Losing a loved one is painful to deal with no matter the circumstance, but it is even harder when it could have been avoided. Our lawyers understand the emotions involved with these situations, and we do our best to help you get through the process. Fortunately, Tennessee law provides families with the right to pursue justice for their loved ones. While nothing can bring your loved one back, our attorneys can help your family fight for rightful compensation.

3. Construction Accidents

Each year, thousands of construction workers are injured on the job. Even though companies are obligated to inspect the job site for possible hazards, accidents still occur every single day. Whether the injury is caused by malfunctioning equipment or just a simple slip and fall, it is important to make sure your case is heard. Chances are your injury will result in lost wages while you recover, so be sure to contact our team to see how we can help you get the money you deserve.
