Types of Accidents

Many vehicles and instruments have been created to make things easier for people. However, if they are not used properly, they can cause life threatening situations for them. They might cause temporary or even permanent damage. Some of the accidents that people normally find themselves in include the following

1.Car/Bus/Truck Accidents: Such accidents mostly occur on the road and the driver and victim are the most affected by them. Depending upon the scale of the accident, the other cars on the road can also be swept up in such accidents. There are many reasons why vehicle accidents may occur. It may occur due to the reckless driving of the driver, drunk driving, breaking traffic rules, not maintaining proper distance on the road and so on. The physical and emotional damage caused by the assailant is challenged in the court and he can be held responsible for his actions.

2.Bicycle/Tricycle/Electric Scooter Accidents: These vehicles might not seem very dangerous but it has been recorded that many people die almost daily because of bicycles, tricycles and electric scooter accidents. One of the main reasons for this is that the drivers don’t wear helmets and protective gear. That is why simple accidents cause an impact on his head and neck and can cause severe injury. In the case of an electric scooter, the rider must be older than 18 to drive. Underage drivers are also harmful for other drivers and for pedestrians walking by. In such cases, victims can go to court and demand compensation for themselves if such accidents have led them to lose their jobs.

3.Construction Accidents: There are many dangerous equipment in construction sites and not properly managing such equipment may lead to severe damage for the construction workers. It has been seen that such damage has taken the lives of many construction workers and in some cases has led them to permanent or temporary disability. Other than equipment, there are many dangerous chemicals and mixtures present on the site as well that should be handled according to the precautions set. If the workers ignore such precautions or the company does not enforce them, it may also lead to disastrous consequences. Workers and their families can sue the company and file for damages in such cases.

4.Product Liability: the products you buy and use every day are produced by companies. These companies have the responsibility to use high quality raw materials for their products. If the materials used in the products are of sub-quality and harm its customers in any way, then it is the responsibility of the company. The defects in cosmetics may lead to skin irritation and skin diseases in many people. Curing such rashes takes time and money and the company should be held responsible for this. The plastic companies produce many things including chairs, tables, cutlery and so on. If the chair is made of low quality material and it breaks, causing the person sitting on it to be injured, then the company is held responsible.

5.Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice is a situation that occurs rarely but always results in the death or permanent damage to the person. Medical malpractice may occur due to wrong medicines being given, making mistakes during surgery, causing infections due to not following health and cleanliness regulations, and so on. Such situations are generally the fault of the doctor or the hospital. If you are a victim of such medical malpractice, you can file a case in the court. This will lead to not only getting the compensation you deserve, but also causes the doctor’s license to be cancelled or suspended.
