to be designated: The threat alone is wrongdoing
enough to be covered by personal injury
laws.

Dog Bites:
Few things are more frightening than
being attacked by a dog. Such an attack
can leave the victim severely injured and
traumatized. If the victim is a child, the
injuries can be fatal. Many states have
statutes which hold the owner of the dog
strictly liable for the dog’s behavior if
the attack is unprovoked; that is, the victim
did nothing to threaten the dog or cause
it to attack in self-defense.

Slip and Fall:
In general terms, “slip and fall” accidents
refer to situations where a person is injured
by slipping, or tripping, and falling due
to a dangerous condition on the premises.
Such falls can happen inside or outside
a building, and be caused by such conditions
as bad flooring, wet floors, poorly lighted
steps, or, in the case of outdoor accidents,
weather-related or hidden hazards. An icy
patch outside a door or a crack or pothole
can be the cause of a slip and fall in a
parking lot, for instance.

Traumatic Brain Injury:
Car accidents are a leading cause of
head and brain injuries. Brain injury can
occur when the head has been struck, usually
by striking an object such as a windshield.
Sometimes the brain undergoes a sudden acceleration/deceleration
movement (as in a whiplash injury) without
direct external trauma to the head. Many
brain injuries are the result of bruising,
bleeding, twisting or tearing of brain tissue.
