Although among the most common types of personal injury cases, auto accidents are not the only kind of personal injury case. Slip and fall cases are also very common in the United States. Typically, a slip and fall accident takes place when a property or business owner fails to maintain their reasonable duty of care, meaning there are hazards on their property. In addition, a slip and fall injury occurs when a party is injured because of the property or business owner’s negligence. Another common type of personal injury case is a medical malpractice case. Medical malpractice cases occur when a doctor or other health care professional fails to exercise the appropriate medical standard of care. This inability to maintain the standard leads to a patient becoming injured. Separately, dog bites are another kind of personal injury case. Arizona is a strict liability state in regards to dog bites. Therefore, a dog’s owners are held financially liable for the bites and any other injuries caused by their dog.
