Helping The Hurt Releases Comprehensive Guide on Personal Injury Case Types

Peachtree City, Georgia -

Atlanta, Georgia - Helping The Hurt, a leading personal injury law firm, has released a new article titled "What Kind of Cases Do Personal Injury Lawyers Handle?" The comprehensive guide aims to educate the public about the various types of personal injury cases and the role of attorneys in these matters.

The article, available on Helping The Hurt's website, provides crucial information for individuals who have suffered injuries due to someone else's negligence. It covers a wide range of personal injury cases, from car accidents to premises liability, offering valuable insights into the legal processes involved.

The guide begins by defining a personal injury case as a legal issue where one party is harmed due to an accident, and another party may be held legally liable for injuries or damages. It outlines the four main components of these cases: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages.

Helping The Hurt's article distinguishes between personal injury and bodily injury, clarifying that personal injury encompasses physical, mental, and emotional distress claims, while bodily injury refers solely to physical harm.

The guide provides an extensive list of injuries considered personal injuries, including birth injuries, spinal cord injuries, head and brain injuries, and workplace accidents. This comprehensive overview helps readers understand the broad scope of personal injury law.

A significant portion of the article focuses on common types of personal injury cases. These include:

Car Accidents: The guide highlights that approximately 3 million people in the U.S. are injured annually in car accidents, with 2 million drivers experiencing permanent injuries.

Truck Accidents: The article explains that truck accidents often result in catastrophic injuries and can involve multiple liable parties, including trucking companies and manufacturers.

Premises Liability: This section covers slip and fall accidents and the responsibility of property owners to ensure safety on their premises.

Pedestrian Accidents: The guide emphasizes the often severe consequences of these accidents due to pedestrians' lack of protection.

Product Liability: This part discusses how companies designing, manufacturing, or selling defective products can be held liable for resulting harm.

Sarah Johnson, a personal injury attorney at Helping The Hurt, commented, "Understanding the types of cases we handle is crucial for potential clients. It helps them recognize when they might need legal assistance and what to expect from the process."

The article also addresses the types of damages individuals can sue for in personal injury cases. It explains the difference between economic damages, such as medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages, which include pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life.

Helping The Hurt's guide provides valuable information on what should be included in a personal injury claim, listing essential documents such as police reports, witness statements, and medical reports.

The article concludes by discussing the compensation structure for personal injury lawyers, typically based on a contingency fee ranging from 30 to 50 percent of the settlement. It emphasizes the value of hiring an experienced personal injury lawyer to navigate the complex legal process and ensure fair compensation.
