Traffic Violations
Although most personal injury claims result from street or highway accidents and negligence such as failing to yield the right of way, speeding, or driving while intoxicated—there are many other ways in which a person or a business can be negligent. A property owner can be found negligent for failing to properly maintain their property. An owner of a dog is considered to be negligent per se if the dog injures another person. Many on-the-job injuries are the result of intentional safety violations by employers. The list is virtually endless.
Most people know that serious work-related injuries may entitle you to receive workers' compensation benefits. What most people do not know is that they may also have a legitimate civil claim against a third party. This is particularly true in construction site accidents and industrial accidents where the negligence of people employed by someone other than your employer or the manufacturers of defective equipment and machinery is responsible for many injuries and deaths each year.

Medical Malpractice
It should be pointed out that medical malpractice is the most common area of malpractice, not because doctors are more negligent than any other profession, but because the risk for injury to a Plaintiff is much greater in the medical field than in other fields.

Social Security Disability
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is government provided disability insurance which you pay for through your payroll deductions. Generally, a person must have worked 5 out of the last 10 years to be insured for benefits. In order to receive SSDI, a person must be insured for benefits and be disabled. In order to prove disability, a person must have a severe mental or physical impairment that prevents them from having gainful employment for at least 12 months. Aside from monetary benefits, anyone who qualifies for Social Security disability benefits also qualifies for the government-issued health insurance called Medicare.
Dog Bites
