Why File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
An average day can quickly turn into a nightmare due to an unexpected injury. Many times injuries are not due to simply bad luck but instead are the result of another person’s wrongful actions or negligence. Personal injury law exists to protect those who have been injured by another person or company’s negligence. While money does not guarantee a recovery, it can greatly help alleviate the financial stress you may experience due to medical bills and lost wages.

Types of Cases Our Edison Personal Injury Law Firm Handles
Our personal injury law attorneys at Stark & Stark represent clients injured in a wide variety of circumstances. Common examples of personal injury lawsuits include:
- Motor Vehicle Accidents: Among the most common in the United States, accidents involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other vehicles are often the result of one driver’s negligence.
- Slip and Fall/Premises Liability: Premise liability lawsuits can be filed when a property owner fails to warn the public of dangers or fix safety hazards on their property, resulting in injuries.
- Workplace Accidents: If you are injured on the job, Stark & Stark’s workers’ compensation attorneys can help ensure you receive benefits for your medical bills and lost wages.
- Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice refers to when a healthcare provider’s mistake or negligence leads to a patient’s injury or death. It is also more common than people think: According to a study by Johns Hopkins, medical malpractice is the third leading cause of death following heart disease and cancer.
- Birth Injuries/Cerebral Palsy: As a new parent, there is nothing scarier than an injured newborn, especially at the hands of a careless doctor or nurse. Birth injuries can lead to lasting injuries and conditions like cerebral palsy, brain damage, paralysis, and hypoxia.
- Wrongful Death: The worst injuries result in loss of life, and leave families grieving from the loss of a loved one while also dealing with the loss of comfort, companionship, and oftentimes income. Families can seek compensation for financial losses as well as medical and funeral expenses.
- Nursing Home Abuse: For many families, the decision to place a loved one in a nursing home is not an easy one, as elder abuse often goes unnoticed. According to the World Health Organization, 2 in 3 staff at long-term care facilities admitted to committing elder abuse in the past year.
- Dog Bites: Getting bit by a dog has the potential to be a much more significant injury than you may assume. If applicable, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the dog’s owner and their home owner’s insurance.
- Traumatic Brain Injuries: TBI’s are some of the most devastating injuries and often the most expensive to recover from. An Edison brain injury attorney can help you and your family negotiate with insurance companies and fight for the compensation you may deserve.
