- Auto accidents — all types of motor vehicle accidents including rear end collisions, sideswipe accidents, T-bone collisions, collisions in intersections, freeway accidents, and accidents caused by government vehicles (i.e., police cars, ambulances, LACMTA buses), etc. If someone is injured by the negligent driving of a government employee, it is imperative to submit a government claim form to the proper agency within 6 months of the date of loss, or the claim could be barred.
- Other vehicle accidents — including truck and tractor-trailer accidents, motorcycle accidents, bus accidents.
- Pedestrian accidents — any type of accident where pedestrians are hit by cars, trucks, or all other vehicles.
- Slip-and-Fall and trip-and-fall-incidents — any incident where someone slips or trips due to a dangerous condition on someone else’s property. This can include scenarios like slipping due to a hazardous substance on the floor in a grocery store, to tripping on a city sidewalk due to an uneven walking surface. People are injured due to a wide variety of hazards that exist on privately owned property, and property owned and controlled by a government agency. If someone is injured on property that is owed and/or controlled by a government agency, it is imperative to submit a government claim form to the proper agency within 6 months of the date of loss, or the claim could be barred.
- Premises liability — involving unsafe railings, inadequate lighting, snow and ice hazards, uneven sidewalks or street potholes.
- Other premises liability claims — any incident where someone is injured due to an unsafe and hazardous condition on property owned by someone else. This could involve scenarios where items fall off shelves in retail stores and strike a customer, to injuries caused by inadequate lighting on the property, or where insufficient safety measure are not taken to prevent an injury.
- Dog-bite claims — Involving injuries sustained when bitten by a dog belonging to someone else.
These are just some of the various ways people are accidentally injured through no fault of their own. Personal injury claims hold the responsible party accountable, whether an individual driver, an employer, a property owner, or a product manufacturer.
