What is a Dickinson Personal Injury Claim?
If you have suffered injuries in a Dickinson accident, you may wonder about your legal rights, as well as your options. Personal injury claims are filed when the accident and resulting injuries are the result of negligence on the part of another person or entity. Negligence is determined in a couple of ways. Juries will ask whether another reasonable person would have acted in the same manner as the defendant, given the same set of circumstances. Another way negligence is determined is by asking whether the defendant had a duty of care to others in the situation.
As an example, drivers have a duty of care to others on the roadways. That duty of care includes following all traffic laws and rules. If a driver fails to follow these laws and rules, the duty of care has been breached. If that breach of duty of care resulted in injuries to the plaintiff, and those injuries caused specific damages (financial, physical, emotional), then the defendant is judged negligent. If you are the victim of a Dickinson accident injury, you may choose to file for personal injury compensation after speaking to a Dickinson accident lawyer from Sullo & Sullo.
What Types of Galveston County Personal Injuries Does Sullo & Sullo Handle?
There are many different types of personal injury claims. Medical malpractice, premises liability claims (slip-and-fall accidents), dog bites, product liability claims for defective or dangerous products, as well as auto accident claims, nursing home abuse and neglect claims, dangerous workplace claims, and wrongful death claims are all personal injury claims. The law firm of Sullo & Sullo primarily handles auto accident injury claims, including:
- Auto accident injury claims can include commercial truck accidents, passenger car accidents, motorcycle accidents, auto-pedestrian accidents, or auto-bicyclist accidents. Contact a strong auto accident attorney from Dickinson to ensure your rights are properly protected.
- Car accident injury claims may include a T-bone accident, a high-speed collision, a rear-end crash, or a head-on collision. There are also other types of car accidents like drunk driving accidents, texting-while-driving accidents, and uninsured motorist accidents. In addition to other types of auto accident injuries, you may suffer airbag injuries or a seat belt injury.
- Truck accident injury claims usually involve severe or catastrophic injuries—or fatalities. There is simply too much of a disparity between an 80,000-pound truck and a 3,000-pound passenger vehicle. Truck accidents may also have more than one defendant, including the truck driver, trucking company, loading company, maintenance company, and the manufacturer of a defective truck part.
- Motorcycle accident injury claims, like truck accident injury claims usually produce extremely serious injuries to the motorcyclist who has virtually no protection other than a helmet. Even motorcyclists who have taken a motorcycle safety course, or attended motorcycle school must constantly be watching out for drivers who don’t see the motorcyclists. There are also stereotypes attached to motorcyclists. Many people believe all motorcyclists are hard-living risk-takers. This is simply not true and requires a highly knowledgeable attorney who can dispel those stereotypes immediately.
