Injuries are a part of life, but there is no reason to pay for the ones that are not your fault. Yes accidents happen, but why should the victim be penalized for something that they would normally have been able to avoid if more care was taken. Here are some types of personal injury where the only move to be made is to pick up the phone and call a lawyer.

Car Accidents - this may be the one type of personal injury that keeps personal injury lawyers in business. While there are accidents that are totally unavoidable, someone is still always at fault. If you are not that person, you may have to use a personal injury claim lawyer in order to get the car fixed or replaced and to cover any medical costs that were incurred because of the accident.

Work Accidents - everyone is always scared to go after their employer for fear of losing their job, but if they are neglectful, they can be sued. For instance, you work at a hotel as a server and there is a constant puddle in the middle of the floor because of a defective pipe on the dishwasher. This 'puddle' has been brought to management's attention time and time again and nothing is ever done. If someone were to slip and fall because of the wet floor, the workplace can be sued.

Drugs - there have been plenty of cases were prescription medicines were not abused, but that something tragic has been the result. Drug makers are 100% liable when this happens and are held accountable for damages to any patients that have used them. While these cases can be filed alone, they are also commonly filed as class action lawsuits.

Product Liability - companies go through great lengths to test their products to make sure that they are safe, but sometimes things slip through the cracks. It is unfortunate, but it is still their responsibility. A recent example of this is a children's walker that when closed, risked severe damage to fingers if they were to get caught in there. It is not something that happens every day, but they were liable for the injuries.

Airplane Accidents - these are horrific when they happen, but someone is usually to blame. Maybe a mechanic did not check what they were supposed to or the airline was using illegal parts. Any cause that can be proven to show fault on the airline makes them liable. This is a very involved type of lawsuit where an attorney who specializes in personal injury will be needed.

Medical Personal Injury - we all like to think that we can trust our doctors and 99 out of 100 times this will be the case. However, they are not infallible and if an injury is caused due to medical negligence, damages can be recovered. This is another field that may require an attorney with specific knowledge in medical malpractice.

These are only a few of the types of personal injury, but they are probably the most common. Personal injury lawsuits can be a very funny thing and if the attorney is not skilled and experienced, the results can be much less than what you are entitled to. Make sure that you are using a reputable attorney that can deliver everything that they promise.
