According to the CDC, motor vehicle accidents, falls, and dangerous products cause the majority of accidental injuries in the United States. These claims generally include:
Traffic crashes: Generally referred to as automobile liability or auto accident claims, car, truck, bus, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian accidents fall into this category. Motor vehicle crashes frequently result in fractures, back and neck trauma, burns, and traumatic brain injuries (TBIs). They are also one of the leading causes of wrongful deaths in San Antonio.
Falls: Falling accidents, commonly called premises liability claims, often involve construction accidents, slipping at supermarkets, and tripping on uneven pavement. Elderly Americans and children disproportionately suffer from fall-related injuries, including broken hips and brain trauma. Most workplace, school, and building accidents involve premises liability claims.
Dangerous products: These cases, called product liability claims, involve injuries caused by negligently developed or manufactured products. Most product liability claims involve household items, such as appliances, malfunctioning medical implants, or dangerous pharmaceuticals. Product designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers might all bear liability for marketing unsafe products, especially those without appropriate warnings. Examples include selling heartburn drugs that cause cancer, negligently designing vehicle braking systems, or failing to warn claimants about flammable beauty products.
Additionally, personal injury cases could involve recreational sports accidents, abuse and neglect, medical malpractice, and dangerous animals. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Wyatt Law Offices handle many of these claims in San Antonio.
