What do you think of when it comes to personal injury claims? Most often, you think of a car accident with the other driver at fault. But, there are numerous kinds of personal injury cases. A few examples of personal injury cases include:

  • Automobile accidents

  • Medical malpractice

  • Product liability

  • Premises liability
