Auto accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury. They occur every day in Arizona. They can happen in several ways and involve various elements, such as cars, trucks, and pedestrians. These crashes can range from minor to deadly. Disability, scarring, disfigurement, paralysis, and long-term injuries can occur. Even when seat belts and airbags are used, a person can still suffer serious injuries. Rear-end accidents are the most common types of auto accidents. Side-impact accidents, head-on crashes, and rollover accidents are also common and serious in nature.Â
Slips and falls can happen anywhere. They are common in grocery stores and restaurants, where spilled substances on floors can cause customers to slip and fall. They can happen in parking lots, on sidewalks, and on stairs, especially in cold and icy weather. Slips and falls can also occur in offices and hospitals after floors have been mopped. Property owners and businesses have an obligation to prevent slips and falls. When they allow floors to be slippery or fail to put up proper signage, they can be held liable for any injuries caused by a slip and fall. The elderly face the highest risk of injuries. Broken bones, especially in the hips, are common.Â
We often forget that doctors are human. They make mistakes just like the rest of us, but when they do, these mistakes can be life-threatening or even deadly. In fact, medical malpractice is considered to be one of the top causes of death in the United States. However, not all cases are considered medical malpractice. Medical malpractice occurs when a patient is injured or receives substandard care because the doctor deviated from the standard of care. Common types of medical malpractice include misdiagnosis, medication errors, surgical errors, anesthesia errors, and infections.Â
Accidents happen, but even when a person did not mean to cause you harm, they can still be held liable for the injuries you suffer. You may be able to file a personal injury claim against them.
