Common injuries in NJ

Shamy & Shamy, L.L.C. represents numerous clients in NJ injury cases. Whether at home, on the job, or on the road (and no matter what your age), you are at risk for injury in NJ. According to the NationalCenter for Personal Injury Protection (CDC) one out of ten people in U.S. hospital beds are treated for accidental injuries.

When injuries result from another person’s negligence or wrongdoing, you have a legal right to receive compensation for your injury in NJ.

Common injury cases include:

• Car accident
  Motor vehicle accidents cause more accidental injuries and deaths than any other source of unintentional injury, according to the CDC. Recoverable damages in car accident cases may include medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and lost future income.
• Medical malpractice
  Medical professionals who injure patients while failing to meet acceptable medical standards may be liable for medical malpractice. Brain damage, birth injury, failure to diagnose, wrong diagnosis, and failure to treat are common types of medical malpractice cases. 
• Slip and fall
  Certain age groups are more prone to particular types of accidental injuries than others. For example, according to the CDC the elderly (over 65 years) and young children ages 14 and younger experience the highest rate of injury from falls. However, older adults (75 and older) are most likely to suffer disability or death as a result of a fall. Children are the least likely of any age group to experience serious injury from a fall, and those under five years of age are least likely to die. When a fall results from property owner negligence to warn about or repair hazards, the owner may be liable for damages. 
• Products liability
  Consumers rely on manufacturers to produce safe products. And, manufacturers are liable when design defects, manufacturing flaws, and advertising that fails to warn about product dangers cause injury. 
• Wrongful death
  Surviving family members who lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing may bring a wrongful death suit against the responsible party. Such claims seek to recover medical costs, funeral expenses, loss of financial support, loss of companionship; and loss of training, education, and parental guidance.
