Auto/Motorcycle accidents are a leading cause of personal injuries. Most auto and motorcycle accidents arise out of the negligence of one or more parties. Driver's duties or standards of care are imposed both by statute and by common sense.

Slips and falls are also common occurrences which result in personal injuries. These most often occur inside supermarkets and stores, on pavement indoors or outdoors, and on steps indoors or outdoors.

In dog bite cases, the owner of a dog is subject to strict liability for a personal injury caused by a dog. Strict liability means that the mere occurrence of the conduct is sufficient to result in liability for the injury.

Products liability is an area of personal injury primarily based upon negligence theories, whereby the injury is the result of the use of or exposure to a "defective" product caused, generally, by the negligent design, manufacture, production, sale, and/or distribution of the product.

Medical malpractice and nursing home neglect/abuse deal with negligence and wrongful acts performed by healthcare providers which result in harm to innocent patients.
