Personal Injuries
Legally speaking, personal injuries refer to cases where an individual suffers physical, emotional, or reputational damage caused by another person or entity.
The three grounds on which you can file a personal injury claim are:
- Negligence (the most common)
- Strict Liability
- Intentional Wrongs
Negligence is any act or omission (failure to act) by the other party that results in a breach of their duty of care which could likely cause injuries to you or others.

Accidents that might cause personal injuries include the following:
Car Accidents – Car accidents are one of the top reasons residents of Woodland Hills give for personal injuries sustained. Typical causes resulting in car accidents include speeding, driving under the influence, fatigue, improper turning, aggressive driving, distracted driving, and mechanical failure.
Truck Accidents – Large trucks are less maneuverable than other vehicles on the road. Truck accidents often occur when a truck is unable to stop or swerve out of the way in time to avoid another vehicle or pedestrian.
Motorcycle Accidents – Riding a motorcycle is a fun and economical way of traveling in Woodland Hills. But, as a rider or passenger, you have a much higher chance of being seriously insured if you are involved in a motorcycle accident. Motorists often don’t pay enough attention to motorcycles while driving.
Uber and Lyft Accidents – Ride-hailing services, such as Uber and Lyft, are a popular alternative to conventional public transport systems. And if you’re planning on meeting friends or family in Woodland Hills for drinks, you should not drink and drive. But that doesn’t mean using a ride-hailing service is always a safe way to travel. As more and more people use ride-hailing services, the number of Uber and Lyft accidents increases.
Slip and Fall Accidents – Statistics show that falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide. Every year residents in Woodland Hills suffer injuries from slip and fall accidents. The main reasons include walking on wet, slippery floors and uneven or damaged surfaces.
