General Information About Personal Injuries

Personal injuries can arises from literally thousands of different scenarios, whether from dangerous and defective products or a rear-end car wreck. Products liability is an area of the law whose goal is holding products manufacturers and suppliers liable for injury caused by a product that is negligently designed or manufactured or does not include adequate warnings. Businesses which introduce dangerous items into the flow of commerce may be held legally liable for injuries they cause.

No matter the type of case, it will often take longer to settle without competent legal representation and if you are dealing with an insurance company on your own, rarely will you be fully and fairly compensated. It pleases an insurance company if you aren't an attorney or do not have the right attorney as they will know that your claim will settle for much less than it's true value. Why do you think the insurance companies call you so quick after an injury? They want to tell you they will pay all the bills and treat you fairly so that you do not go out and retain experienced and aggressive legal representation.

McAleer Law handles many types of personal injury cases. Here are a few examples:

Personal Injury Resulting From Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Sadly, most animal attacks involve small children ages 10 and under. Surprising as it may be, dog bites account for more emergency room visits than any other child injury. Over 77% of dog bite injuries to small kids involve their heads and faces. Since the majority of dog bites and animal attacks occur at the home or at a neighbor's home, this can cause a great emotional strain on all involved. Most people don't want to sue close friends and neighbors or even other family members but the question remains - who should be held accountable for what are typically severe injuries. Fortunately, most animal attack injuries are covered by homeowner's insurance policies as well as umbrella insurance policies. Learn More.

Premises Liability -- Slip or Trip and Fall Injuries

Premises liability arises when an owner or occupier (a tenant, e.g.,) of property fails to maintain his property in a safe manner and allows hazardous conditions to exist. Typical cases involve grocery stores or department stores that fail to inspect for hazardous conditions or fail to properly warn consumers of such a hazardous condition. You are entitled to money damages for injuries sustained as a result of property owner negligence. Typically, in Georgia, you cannot recover damages if the hazard that cause the slip or trip was an open or obvious hazard or if you have knowledge of the hazard that is equal to the owner's knowledge.

Sadly, Some Personal Injury Causes involve the Death of a Love One.

Wrongful death happens when a decedent is killed and another is at fault for the death. In such a case, the survivor, living dependent or beneficiary is allowed to recover monetary damages in certain situations.
