There are numerous types of accident claims, with varying degrees of injury and necessary medical treatment. However, some categories of personal injuries occur more often than others.

Vehicle accidents are among the most common type of personal injury case, and they may involve a variety of vehicles, including cars, trucks, or motorcycles. These unexpected events sometimes lead to substantial physical, mental, and financial burdens for the injured party.

Construction accidents are also common personal injury cases. As a construction site employee, you face significant risks every time you go to work, accounting for more than 20% of all workplace deaths. From falling objects to electrical hazards, construction sites are filled with dangers. If site owners or managers do not take proper safety measures, they may be held liable for the resulting injuries. Members of the public may also face risks when walking or driving near a construction site. Inadequately marked sidewalk hazards may lead to serious injuries.

Another common type of personal injury claim is nursing home abuse. When we trust the care of our loved ones to a nursing facility, we expect that the responsible parties will ensure his or her wellbeing. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Some studies estimate that nursing home abuse occurs in about a third of all facilities. Commonly reported problems include physical, sexual, financial or verbal abuse. Inadequate medical care and hygiene maintenance are also among the most common types of nursing home abuse.
