There are many types of personal injury cases because people are injured in a variety of ways. It’s impossible to list all of the types of personal injury cases in one place, but some of the more common personal injury cases are below:
- Automobile Accidents: There were over 5.5 million car accidents in America in 2009. As a result of those accidents, over 2.2 million people suffered injuries, some very serious injuries including paralysis, injury to spinal cord, brain injury and death.
- Trucking Accidents: Our nation’s highways seem clogged with 18 Wheeler trucks traveling at high rates of speed. When an accident occurs with a Semi-Truck, the injuries are usually very serious because of the speed and the size of the vehicle involved.
- SUV Rollover Accidents: In the accidents that caused injuries in 2009 in which there were rollover incidents, SUVs were involved the most. This type of vehicle remains a popular choice for a lot of Americans, but it can cause serious injury when a rollover occurs.
- Motorcycle Accidents: Many people purchase motorcycles because of their look, their speed and their handling. However, accidents on motorcycles usually result in very serious injuries or death.
- SEPTA Accidents: SEPTA provides transportation service to the 4.5 million people in the Philadelphia metro area with buses, subways, trains and trolleys. Every day, SETPA vehicles are crowded with Philadelphians going to and from school and work.
