Being injured by someone else’s negligence is never an easy matter. You not only face a difficult path ahead but must also contend with the reality that this setback was caused by someone else’s lack of care. Your first inclination may be to focus on regaining your health and stamina while the insurance company attends to compensating you for your losses, but this is unlikely to support your best interests. While you attend to regaining your health and recovering, a dedicated personal injury attorney will aggressively advocate for just compensation that addresses your emotional, physical, and financial damages in their entirety.

No two personal injury claims ever look exactly alike, but some accidents are more common than others. At Kash Legal, we regularly work with clients injured in:
Let’s take a closer look at each classification.
Traffic Accidents
When we get behind the wheel, we accept a tremendous responsibility to drive safely – this is the duty of care we owe others on the road. Negligent motorists fail to live up to this responsibility and are often the cause of dangerous traffic accidents. Driver negligence comes in a variety of forms that can include all of the following:
Rideshare Accidents
Rideshare accidents add an additional layer of complications to traffic accidents. Rideshare drivers like those who drive for Uber and Lyft are generally attempting to make a living behind the wheel, but they aren’t professional drivers in any real sense. Although rideshare drivers need no special licensure or experience, they face many of the same complications that commercial drivers face, including frequent stops and starts, maneuvering through unknown areas, pulling in and out of traffic, and other dangerous driving tasks.
Accidents involving Commercial Vehicles
Accidents involving commercial vehicles like big rigs and buses are among the most dangerous traffic accidents. The sheer bulk, size, and weight of these machines make any ensuing accidents exceedingly dangerous – especially for the other motorists involved. Truck drivers and bus drivers are professional drivers, and they are guided by more careful restrictions related to safety and driver negligence. For example, the law has zero-tolerance for professional drivers who get behind the wheel while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, and there are exacting hours-of-service guidelines in place to help keep drowsy professional drivers off our highways and byways.
Slip and Falls and Premises Liability Claims
Premises liability claims partially refer to accidents caused by commercial property owners who fail to keep their restaurants, bars, stores, offices, and other kinds of businesses in reasonably safe repair that allows their patrons reasonably safe passage. The incidents that are frequently cited in premises liability claims are slip and fall accidents. Slip and fall accidents are as common as they are dangerous, and they’re often caused by conditions such as the following:
Commercial property owners and managers are responsible for employing a duty of care that reaches the standard that other reasonable property owners employ in similar situations.
Construction Work Accidents
Accidents on the job are common, and they can be extremely dangerous. Construction work is one of the most dangerous jobs out there. It’s so dangerous, in fact, that there is a fatal four, the four life-threatening accidents that are most prevalent on the job, including:
Catastrophic Injuries
Catastrophic injuries occupy a class of their own because they are injuries that typically preclude their victims from returning to work and earning a living. Catastrophic injuries like serious burns, electrocutions, paralysis, and amputations are life-altering injuries that can lead to a lifetime of evolving health and medical needs. The physical, financial, and emotional damages associated with these profound injuries can be difficult to overstate.
Wrongful Death Claims
When an accident ultimately leads to death, the injured party obviously can’t bring a personal injury case, but his or her survivors can do so on the decedent’s behalf. A wrongful death claim can’t return a family’s loved one to them, but it can help them move forward toward more complete healing.
