Personal injury law, also known as tort law, ensures the injured person is compensated when someone’s negligent or intentional behavior causes them harm. For example, a car accident where one driver hurts another driver because he or she was not paying attention might be a tort. While almost every type of accident or incident can lead to personal injuries, there are some that are more common. Personal injury attorney Dan Zohar knows all about tort law and can help you resolve your personal injury claims.
As a leading Tampa personal injury attorney, Dan Zohar has more than 30 years of experience and has worked on thousands of personal injury claims. He knows you may have questions, so he has shared a list of the most common types of personal injury claims.
Motor vehicle and car accidents
Millions of people are hurt in motor vehicle accidents each year throughout the United States, so it’s no surprise that car accidents in Tampa are an unfortunate, but common occurrence. If you sustained personal injuries in a car accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, you might be entitled to compensation.
Florida is a “no-fault” car insurance state, which means you collect the compensation from your own insurer unless your injuries are considered to be serious. To discuss the circumstances of your Tampa car accident, schedule your free consultation by calling personal injury claims experts at DZ Firm: (800) 963-3311.
Slip-and-fall accidents
Another common types of personal injury claims involves slip-and-fall accidents. Property owners are required to keep their premises safe and hazard-free, and if they fail to warn visitors before removing the hazard, they can be considered negligible. For example, grocery store owners are required to display “wet floor” signage after cleaning the floors because water and cleaning products can make the floor slippery.
Product liability
Dangerous or defective products are a common cause of personal injury whether at home, at work, or in public. Improper warning labels or inadequate manual instructions can also lead to personal injury. If you sustained personal injuries due to a dangerous or defective product, consult an experienced Tampa personal injury attorney like Dan Zohar. A knowledgeable personal injury attorney can evaluate the product, help you identify the responsible parties, and ensure you are adequately compensated.
Pedestrian accidents
Drivers are not the only ones who can be injured in a traffic accident. In fact, thousands of unsuspecting pedestrians are injured due to someone else’s negligence. Insurance companies are aware that if they manage to shift even a portion of the blame on the pedestrian, they’ll save a lot of money. Drivers, on the other hand, may lie and say that the pedestrian was not using a designated crosswalk to cross the street, or that the pedestrian was standing too close to the roadway. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you dodge false accusations and get you fairly compensated.
