Types of Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Whether you are a driver, passenger, bicyclist, or pedestrian, if you are injured in a car accident you may have a personal injury claim. This includes ride-share services such as Uber and Lyft.
Motorcyclists and bikers can be severely injured when they are involved in accidents due to the limited protection a motorcycle offers when riding, making them more susceptible to accidents caused by another’s negligence such as when another driver causes a collision from not paying attention. Smith Trial Group has helped motorcyclists out of our Murrieta office for years and has obtained millions of dollars in settlements and verdicts for the motorcycle community.
Semi-trucks and tractor-trailers, including eighteen-wheelers are massive vehicles capable of causing devastating property damage and bodily injury when involved in accidents. The attorneys at our Murrieta office handle trucking personal injury accidents and can give you a free evaluation of your trucking accident case.
When a family member or a loved one is killed due to another’s negligence the surviving family members have a wrongful death claim. The decedent’s surviving family members, often a spouse and children, are entitled to financial compensation including the loss of financial support they received from the decedent. Our Murrieta wrongful death lawyers are here to help you or a loved one through the challenging process of seeking justice for a wrongful death case.
Dog owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dogs. When a dog bites an individual, the dog owner is strictly liable—meaning that the injured individual does not even need to prove negligence.
These types of cases are typically part of “premises liability” cases where dangerous conditions cause an individual to slip and fall, or otherwise cause injury. Whether it is a missing railing on stairs, torn carpet, a wet floor or spilled liquid in a grocery store, “slip and fall” cases are a type of case our Murrieta personal injury attorneys handle.
Approximately 5,000 pedestrians die every year in the United States from automobile-related accidents and approximately 76,000 pedestrians are injured. If the operator of a car, truck, motorcycle, or other vehicle is negligent and causes injury to a pedestrian while the pedestrian is crossing a road, crossing a highway, or walking in a crosswalk, Smith Trial Group’s Murrieta personal injury attorneys can determine whether an injury clam exists.
Personal injury accidents can cause catastrophic injuries to all parts of the body, but brain injuries can be especially severe. Brain injuries can be mild or severe, but often have debilitating physical consequences and can necessitate a lifetime of medical care. The Murrieta personal injuries attorneys at Smith Trial Group can evaluate your brain injury case and will aggressively investigate and pursue your damages against the negligent party. Smith Trial Group can coordinate the best medical care and life-care planning available to handle both mild and severe brain injuries.
