Common types of personal injury cases include car accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, dog bite and more. Even if a person receives injuries after another person’s action, using their product or being on their premises, the injured person must still show they have a case
To prove the personal injury case, the victim must prove injury, liability and damages. The injuries may be physical, emotional or mental.
