Written By: Louie Talacay

Accidents resulting in personal injury can be a traumatizing and stressful experience. Often times, the offender is reluctant to accept blame and immediate action and treatment may be delayed as a result. In times such as these, it is important to have an experienced and professional team to guide you through the process of handling your claim as a united front. The following is a list of common personal injury cases along with a few scenarios –can you match up the scenarios with their respective case type??

__ Scenario A:

A car runs a red light on a turning lane and sidelines a motorcyclist turning right at the intersection. Fortunately for the motorcyclist, they are able to act quickly and bail from the motorcycle sustaining only a broken arm and some road rash, but their bike is wrecked in the ensuing crash. As is common, the motorcyclist does not carry insurance for his vehicle.

__ Scenario B:

The summer rain season is in full swing and every day after 4pm a downpour occurs. Heather, a mom, is picking up her daughter from gymnastics. The front lobby is slippery from previous persons walking in and out of the building and no sign is put in place to make people aware of the danger. Heather slips as she goes to the counter to sign her daughter out. The fall causes Heather to land on her tailbone and break her lower lumbar.

__Scenario C:

A pharmacist misreads the prescription drug Celebrex (used to treat arthritis) for Celexa an antidepressant. The antidepressant causes severe manic depression for the patient and three days after being prescribed the medication, the patient dies of an apparent suicide.

Scenario A is a Motorcycle claim. The uninsured motorcyclist may be able to recover for motorcycle damage and injuries sustained from the car that ran the red light.

Scenario B is a combination of a slip and fall as well as a premise liability case. The company may be held liable for not making persons aware of a slippery/wet floor.

Scenario C is also a combination of two types of PI cases. It is not only a wrongful death case but could be encapsulated within a medical malpractice case. The pharmacist that dispensed the wrong medication could be held culpable for the wrongful death.
