What Are the Common Reasons to Consult a Personal Injury Law Firm?

Did you know that according to The National Safety Council, the third leading cause of death in the United States is accidental injury? But what incidents fall under the umbrella of "accidental injury" and, most importantly, when should you consult with personal injury attorneys? When would you need a wrongful death attorney, if an accidental injury results in death? Unfortunately, there may come a time where you need to ask yourself these questions, especially if you are unsure if your injury necessitates the use of a personal injury lawyer. Below are some examples of situations where you should consult a personal injury law firm that you may not know, and some tips to find the best lawyer for you.

Rideshare accidents

If you have been involved in a car accident, chances are you have had to consult with an auto accident injury attorney. However, you may not be aware of your rights if you have been in an accident while in an Uber or other rideshare. This is why it is so important to consult with a personal injury law firm that is familiar with every type of auto accident, whether it is a car, truck, or motorcycle accident; or an accident where you are a passenger in a rideshare. Choose a personal injury law firm with a wrongful death attorney if the accident results in the death of a fellow passenger or loved one while taking a rideshare.

Dog Bites

It is unfortunate that even the most innocent-looking dogs may have the capacity to bite. But when is it the responsibility of the owner to pay for personal injuries resulting from a dog bite? Whether you are the owner of the dog in question, or the victim of a dog bite, it is essential to consult with a lawyer who is versed in dog bite law and can represent your case in the best way possible. Dog bites can be serious and may result in serious injury, or even death. Look for a personal injury law firm that is familiar with dog bite law. It may be helpful to find a dog bite injury attorney that has represented both dog owners and victims of dog bites.

Pedestrian Accident

Being injured as a pedestrian can be just as traumatizing as being involved in an automobile accident. If you are injured in a pedestrian accident, you should consult a personal injury law firm that answer all of the important questions, such as "did any negligence exist on the part of the driver?" and "what are my rights as a pedestrian in the crosswalk"? A wrongful death attorney may also be necessary in situations where a pedestrian's injuries are serious enough to result in death. Whether you are the driver or the pedestrian involved in an accident, you should consult a personal injury law firm that is experienced, knowledgable, and familiar with pedestrian rights and potential situations involving driver negligence. The above situations may not be what you think of when you think of personal injury attorneys; however, this is why it is so important that you consult with a personal injury law firm when you are involved in any type of accidental injury. It is an unfortunate reality that at one time or another we or our loved ones may be involved in an incident that results in an injury, or even death. The best course of action is to consult an personal injury law firm that can offer everything from an auto accident injury attorney to a wrongful death attorney, and can offer the experience and knowledge to get you the compensation you deserve.
