About Personal Injury Lawyer Opa-Locka

There are many ways in which a person can suffer injuries due to the mistakes of someone else. Today, we will cover some of the most common ways people get hurt and need to pursue a personal injury case, but this is not a complete list. Always seek out the advice of a qualified attorney before making a decision.

Workplace Accidents - The Bureau of Labor Statistics tells us that there were around 8 million nonfatal workplace injuries or illnesses last year. While most work injuries should be covered by workers' compensation insurance, there are times when coverage is denied or you are eligible for more compensation than they are offering. Often, these accidents happen because of employer actions or due to third-party contractors.

Animal/Dog Attacks - We know that approximately 800,000 dog bites require medical attention each year in the US, often due to infections. We also know that dog attacks can cause
devastating soft tissue damage that can require surgery to repair. These attacks often occur due to a dog owner's disregard of laws when it comes to properly securing their animals or letting them off of their leash.
