Personal Injury Cases We Handle
Our team handles a large variety of personal injury claims for our clients. Some of the most common cases we handle include:
Motor Vehicle Accidents
Our auto accident lawyers know the challenges that come with recovering from an accident. For this reason, we work hard to help our clients file a claim to seek the compensation they need for medical costs and more. Some of the accident types we handle include:
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
Regardless of whether you are looking for a skilled truck accident lawyer to take on a large trucking company or a motorcycle accident lawyer to help you prove a defective part caused your accident, we are here to help.
Catastrophic Injury Cases
Our injury lawyers know how challenging it can be to recover from severe burn injuries and brain injuries. For this reason, we work hard to help those harmed hold negligent parties accountable for their actions.
Medical Malpractice
Medical malpractice claims involve injuries caused by negligent medical care, such as surgical errors, misdiagnosis, or medication mistakes. A lawyer will review medical records, consult with experts, and build a case to show how a healthcare provider’s negligence led to harm.
Construction Injuries
Construction site accidents can result from falls, equipment failures, or safety violations. A lawyer will investigate site conditions, identify responsible parties, and determine whether workers’ compensation, third-party liability, or both apply.
Dog Bites
Dog bite injuries can cause lasting physical and emotional harm, especially for children. A lawyer will assess Lake Murray leash laws and liability rules to hold negligent pet owners accountable for medical costs, scarring, and trauma.
Product Liability
Defective products, from unsafe machinery to faulty consumer goods, can lead to serious injuries. A lawyer will examine whether a design flaw, manufacturing defect, or inadequate warning played a role and seek compensation from the responsible company.
Premises Liability
Property owners must keep their premises safe, but hazards like wet floors, poor lighting, and unsafe structures can lead to serious injuries. A lawyer will gather evidence to prove negligence and hold the property owner or manager accountable.
Dangerous Drugs
Some prescription and over-the-counter drugs cause unexpected side effects, injuries, or long-term health complications. A lawyer will investigate whether the drug manufacturer failed to warn consumers, concealed risks, or sold a defective product.
Nursing Home Negligence
Elderly residents in nursing homes can suffer from neglect, physical abuse, or medical mistakes. A lawyer will review facility records, interview witnesses, and pursue claims against negligent staff or administrators.
Workers’ Compensation
Work-related injuries, from repetitive stress conditions to catastrophic accidents, may entitle employees to workers’ compensation benefits. A Lake Murray injury lawyer will help file claims, challenge denials, and determine if additional legal action is possible against third parties.
Train and Railroad Accidents
Collisions, derailments, and platform accidents can cause severe injuries or fatalities. Goings Law Firm, LLC will investigate safety violations, operator negligence, or equipment failures to hold rail companies accountable.
Boating Accidents
Boating accidents can result from operator negligence, mechanical failures, or hazardous waters. A lawyer will examine maritime laws, liability issues, and insurance coverage to pursue fair compensation for injuries.
Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims arise when negligence leads to a fatal accident, whether in a car crash, workplace incident, or medical setting. A lawyer will work to recover damages for surviving family members, including lost income, medical expenses, and emotional suffering.
Understanding Negligence in Personal Injury Cases
Negligence occurs when someone doesn’t take reasonable care in a situation, and their actions (or lack of action) cause harm to someone else. In personal injury cases, this means that a person’s behavior led to an accident. For example, a driver who runs a red light and crashes into another car is negligent because they failed to follow traffic laws and keep others safe. Our responsibility is to establish a direct link between someone else’s action or inaction, the accident or incident that occurred, the injury you suffered, and the harm and losses that injury caused.
Types of Compensation Available to Injury Victims
Victims injured in accidents caused by negligent parties may be entitled to compensation to cover various damages incurred from their accidents. Over the years, our personal injury attorneys have helped countless accident victims collect full and fair compensation to alleviate the financial burdens incurred from their accidents, including:
- Current and anticipated future medical expenses
- Lost income, including lost future earnings if no longer able to work
- Costs of home modifications and medical equipment
- Physical and emotional pain and suffering
- Diminished quality and enjoyment of life
- Property damage
- Wrongful death
