Personal Injury Law

Experienced Southern Illinois Personal Injury Attorney

Get your life back on track

In a single moment, your whole life can change. One second, you’re driving to work during a normal commute. The next thing you know, you’re surrounded by broken glass, flashing lights, and paramedics. Or maybe one moment, you’re enjoying a nice afternoon in your backyard, and the next moment, your neighbor’s dog is running toward you aggressively.

No matter what moment changed your life forever, you may need help putting the pieces back together — especially if someone else is to blame.

After all, someone else’s negligence shouldn’t mean that you spend your life’s savings on medical bills, lose your job, or suffer immense emotional damage. While no attorney can turn back time and undo what happened, we can do our best to set things right.

Types of Personal Injury Cases Dan Handles

Types of Personal Injury cases

In general, personal injury cases involve someone’s health or property being harmed by another person’s or organization’s negligence. There are an infinite number of ways that can happen. Some of the most common types of personal injury cases include:

Motor Vehicle Accidents: This can include car accidents, incidents with truckers, motorcycle accidents, and pedestrian accidents. An auto accident lawyer like Daniel Kay, can help you get the recovery you deserve.
Medical Malpractice: These cases involve a licensed medical practitioner causing harm to a patient due to negligence.
Wrongful Death: If your loved one died due to an accident caused by negligence, you may be entitled to compensation.
Workplace Accidents: Employers are required to keep workplaces safe for employees. If you’re injured on the job, a personal injury lawsuit can hold your employer accountable and help you recover financially.
Premises Falls: Owners of public establishments and even private homes are required to keep their property safe for guests. If you’re injured due to negligence on someone else’s property, you may have a case.
Animal Attacks: Animal owners must keep their animals from harming others. If you’re attacked by someone’s animal, they may need to pay for your expenses.
