The underlying injury in a personal injury case may be either physical or emotional, and it can arise from a variety of sources or types of conduct. Some of the most common types of personal injuries that give rise to legal liability on the part of the wrongdoer include slip and fall cases, automobile accident cases, assault and batteries, medical malpractice actions, and products liability lawsuits. The general goal of personal injury actions is to assign blame -- or liability -- for the injury to the parties whose actions caused it and to require them to compensate the injured person for the losses sustained.

Wrongful Death Cases
Wrongful death claims allege, as their basis, that the deceased died as a result of the negligence or liability of another. The deceased's surviving relatives, dependents, or beneficiaries may bring suit against those claimed to have been responsible, seeking monetary damages to compensate for the losses.

Automobile Accidents
If you have been seriously injured in an automobile accident, time is critical. It is important to contact an attorney quickly so that proper steps are taken to evaluate your accident and injuries. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident caused by someone else, Darrell Castle and Associates will evaluate your case free of charge and if you retain us to represent you, you will owe no fees or other costs unless you receive a recovery.

Slip and Falls & Other Premises-related Personal Injuries
Premises liability law involves the legal responsibility of owners and occupiers of property for mishaps experienced by persons on the property and the resulting injuries. One of the most common causes of such injuries is a trip or slip and fall, such as on an icy sidewalk, a loose or uneven stair tread, or a piece of debris or spilled liquid on the floor.

Personal Injuries from Dangerous or Defective Products
When someone is injured while using a product that left the manufacturer or seller's hands in defective or dangerous condition, he or she may be able to recover the resulting damages from the responsible party in a products-liability-based personal injury suit. Products liability law is based on the responsibility of a manufacturer or other provider of goods to compensate users of the goods for injuries caused by defective or dangerous products that they placed into the stream of commerce. The basic idea underlying products liability law is that the companies providing the products are usually in the best position to prevent defective products from entering the marketplace, so if they fail to do so, they should be held accountable.

Medical Malpractice
Every malpractice case is unique and the value depends on a detailed analysis of all elements of liability, causation, and damages.  The hospital is very experienced in analyzing and handling malpractice claims and settlement negotiations.  Its representatives know what your claim is really worth, but you do not.  This creates very unequal negotiating positions and makes it hard for you to negotiate for fair value.  The responsibility of the hospital's claims adjuster is to pay the least amount they can get away with.  A lawyer on your side will help you determine the true value of your claim and ensure you are not taken advantage of.

Nursing Home Negligence
Nursing home negligence occurs when a resident is abused or neglected in a nursing home. Nursing home negligence can result in nursing home deaths, falls resulting in broken bones, malnutrition, dehydration, decubitus ulcers and residents wandering off the nursing home premises and injuring themselves. To ensure proper care, both federal and state governments have introduced legislation to protect residents of nursing homes.

Personal Injury from Animal Bites or Attacks
Animal attacks can result in far more than physical pain. Disfigurement, a fear of rabies or other disease, and even a long-term fear of the type of animal that caused the injuries can ensue. A pet owner may be liable for such injuries when his or her animal bites or otherwise attacks someone, meaning that he or she must compensate the injured party for the resulting damages. Although animal attack claims most commonly involve dog bites, many other types of domesticated animals, such as ferrets, cats, and even birds, can also bite humans, causing injury and potential liability for their masters.
