If you have been injured due to someone’s recklessness or negligence, they could be held accountable for their injuries and damages by filing a personal injury suit against them.

Legal proceedings begin when your attorney files a Complaint with the court and serves it to those at fault (known as “Defendants”). This document outlines your injuries as well as damages sustained from those responsible.

Car accidents

Car accidents are one of the primary sources of personal injury claims. They may result from reckless or distracted driving, drunkenness behind the wheel, or other unsafe practices while operating vehicles.

Car accident lawsuits allow victims of car accidents to seek damages such as medical bills, property damage, lost wages and pain and suffering compensation. As these costs can quickly add up, hiring an experienced attorney such as Cellino Law’s is crucial if victims want a fair outcome for their claims. Our firm utilizes vocational rehabilitation specialists, life care planners and economists in building strong cases.

As soon as a car accident has taken place, it is wise to receive medical examination even if no symptoms exist immediately following it. This is because some injuries might not immediately manifest themselves but could later cause significant problems; additionally, many states, including New York, offer no-fault insurance policies which rely on personal injury protection coverage before turning back against another driver in court proceedings.

Medical malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare professional violates his or her professional standards by engaging in negligent acts or omissions that lead to injuries for their patient. Such violations could involve diagnostic testing, treatment procedures, follow-up care plans or health management oversight that compromise their standards and cause irreparable damage to them.

For any claim against a physician for malpractice to succeed, four elements must be proven: that there was a doctor-patient relationship; that the medical provider owed an obligation to provide competent care; that breach occurred, and injury or harm resulted from it;

Examples of medical malpractice may include misdiagnosis by your physician, or surgeon leaving behind surgical clamps after performing an operation. Malpractice cases frequently involve multiple defendants and require experts’ input when developing their cases – for this reason it is essential to hire an attorney experienced in medical malpractice litigation claims.

Premises liability

If you are injured on someone else’s property – be it commercial or residential – they could be held liable. These cases, known as premises liability cases, involve someone being hurt due to unsafe conditions on another’s land and claimant suing on behalf of those injured due to unsafe conditions on that property.

Many states categorize people based on their status on a property: invitees, licensees, social guests or trespassers. Property owners/occupiers have an obligation to maintain safe premises for visitors while giving adequate warning about any dangers that they are aware of or should have known about.

Victims must establish that a defendant breached their duty of care, leading directly to their injuries. Financial losses (e.g. medical bills) must also be shown as well as non-economic damages such as pain and suffering that must also be calculated separately from any monetary awards made against them.

Product liability

Sometimes injuries caused by dangerous or defective products can result in court actions against those involved in their development and distribution; such defendants include parts suppliers, designers/manufacturers and retailers.

However, you must show that the product was defective in a way that led directly to your losses and injuries, not through your own negligence.

Filing a lawsuit in state court can vary, depending on where you live. Usually, it would be best to submit it in the jurisdictional court for your defendant. You should consult a personal injury lawyer on this issue for guidance; your lawyer can also help determine whether your claim falls within its statute of limitation timeline; should it do, they’ll help file your claim quickly and accurately.
