Injury accidents can happen anywhere, including while you are away from home. If you recently experienced an injury due to another person’s negligence, you could be owed compensation for your damages. A seasoned injury lawyer from our firm can help no matter the type of accident you were involved in.
With warmer weather right around the corner and a bright light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, more Americans are planning their spring break and summer road trips. However, a road trip shouldn’t mean letting your guard down for any reason. Studies show that:
Even still, injury accidents are common on road trips when people are miles away from home. Whether your injury accident occurs down the road, across town, or in another state, a Huntsville personal injury attorney is your best resource for pursuing financial recovery.
Road trip accidents can happen to anyone, anywhere. The most common types are:
Any time you are in the car for longer periods of time, traveling more miles, the risk of a car accident increases. If you are traveling at peak times, such as during the summer or on holidays, you share the road with an increased number of motorists. More motorists mean an increased chance of car accidents.
The increased risk of accidents doesn’t end with the roadways. If you’re heading out for some recreation on a body of water, keep in mind that a variety of different accidents can occur. Boating accidents, jet ski accidents, and drowning or near-drowning accidents are unfortunately frequent occurrences for road trippers.
Slip and fall accidents might not be the first thing that comes to your mind when thinking about potential road trip injuries, but they do happen. Hotels, recreational facilities, and tourist attractions are hot spots for these types of incidents. Sometimes, slip and falls can cause minor injuries to soft tissues or even broken bones. Other times they can cause severe or even fatal injuries such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI) or spinal cord injuries (SCI).
Other accidents can occur on another party’s property, causing serious bodily injury, falling under the umbrella of premise liability. An accident or injury near or in a swimming pool, on the stairs, or even at an amusement park or waterpark could all be reasons to file a premise liability claim.
When you hire a Huntsville personal injury attorney from our firm, we will determine who is liable for your accident, no matter what type or where it occurred, and hold them accountable.
