Four Times You Might Need a Personal Injury Lawyer

Updated January 8, 2024 | By Wilson Kehoe Winingham staff

While the situations on TV legal dramas always appear shocking and extreme, there are many instances when a normal person may need a personal injury lawyer. You could be entitled to compensation when someone’s negligence caused an injury.

When to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney

These are some of many examples of personal injury matters where a victim may need a lawyer.

Auto Accidents

Civil suits often occur after car accidents because the victims of a crash may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses and time off from work when a negligent driver caused the accident. This type of personal injury suit may take place after a wreck involving cars, trucks, or motorcycles and might even include a horse and buggy, like the recent accident in Banks Township.

Products Liability

Product manufacturers have a responsibility to customers to ensure that the products they sell are safe. When a defective product harms someone due to design flaws, an attorney may be able to file a suit in civil court on behalf of the injured party.

Dog Bites

If a dog bite is serious enough to warrant medical treatment, a personal injury lawyer can advise you about your rights. In dog bite cases, the owner of the dog is responsible for the animal and might be liable when a dog attacks.

Medical Malpractice

Many people trust doctors and other health professionals when making medical decisions, but a lawyer could help when medical malpractice occurs.
