Cases of personal injury cover a wide array of situations and circumstances, but the common element between all of these is some form of damage or loss directly related to one party’s negligence or careless actions. Some of the most common of these include:

Automobile Accidents

Perhaps the most common example of personal injury. Each year, more than  million people are involved in car accidents across the United States. Corpus Christi auto accidents happen all too often. Fortunately, Carabin Shaw attorneys have all the necessary experience and dedication to help you obtain compensation for your damages and injuries.

Slips and Falls

Slips and falls are often related to the category of workplace injuries. In work environments with slick floors or otherwise dangerous surfaces, slips and falls can pose a daily threat to worker safety.

Workplace Injuries

If you are injured at work, there are a multitude of factors that affect who is responsible, and to what degree. If your work includes hazardous conditions, or you have been injured as a result of a lack of proper training, or over-scheduling, your employer may be responsible.

Wrongful Death

Instances of wrongful death can occur anywhere. If someone you love has died as a result of another party’s carelessness, it is your right to hold those people responsible. This often takes the form of nursing home abuse or neglect, but it can also include other circumstances like a medical misdiagnosis. With the guidance of one of our personal injury attorneys serving Corpus Christi, reparations for expenses like funeral expenses and further financial loss may be pursued.

Medical Malpractice

When you visit a doctor’s office, the understanding is that they will do everything in their power to help cure what is ailing you. If you have suffered further pain and suffering because of a nurse or doctor’s negligence, you might be able to take legal action against them for your time, trouble, and financial loss.

Bites/Animal Injury

The law dictates a pet owner assumes the responsibility of their pet in the event of a bite or injury. If a dog bites you, and you are forced to receive medical treatment, you may be able to hold the dog’s owner accountable.

Assault/Battery

Assault suggests not third party negligence, but rather an intent to harm or hurt. For example, if you are involved in a physical altercation in the workplace, you may press charges if the other party was the aggressor.
