most common personal injury cases in kansas and missouriAt some point in our life we will all get injured. We will either get in a car, motorcycle or truck accident, get injured at work, slip and fall or get bitten by a dog. All of these injuries have one thing in common. They all change our life due to the amount of pain or discomfort we have from the injury.

Injuries affect everyone differently. After getting hurt, you need the peace of mind knowing that you have a personal injury attorney that will fight for your best interest. Below, we go into detail about the 5 most common personal injury cases we see in Kansas and Missouri.

What Type of Personal Injury Cases Are Most Common?

1) Car Accidents

Unfortunately, we will all get in a car accident at some point in our lives. Some accidents may be more severe than others. Car accidents happen on a daily basis. Car accident injuries can leave the injured with broken bones, concussions, whiplash, soft tissue injuries, amputated limbs, paralysis and fatal injuries. If you are the victim of a car accident in Kansas or Missouri, it is due to someone else’s negligence and you need a qualified Kansas City car accident lawyer on your team.

2) Motorcycle Accidents

With the weather starting to get warmer, we see more motorcycle riders on the roads. When a motorcycle rider gets hit by another moving vehicle the outcome is always far worse than the person in the car or truck that hit the motorcyclist. Even a small fender bender on a bike can throw the rider off the motorcycle and cause broken bones, road rash, head and neck injuries, soft tissue damage or death.

3) Workplace Injuries

If you have been injured at work a lot of things can race through your mind. One of which is how and when to report the injury. You have 30 days to report a workplace injury. It is best to notify your supervisor of the injury as soon as you can.

These injuries can be at a factory, construction site or in an office. The most common injuries include back injuries, falls, and repetitive stress injuries.

4) Slip and Fall

Slip and fall accidents happen on a daily basis in Kansas City. These accidents are often times due to a workplace or individual leaving something out where it doesn’t belong. This can cause someone to slip and fall and can cause a significant injury. Other examples of slip and fall are from a wet floor that has not been properly marked.

5) Dog Bites

Every year over 4.5 million dog bites injuries happen, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In most cases, dog bit injuries happen to children. The CDC also report that one in every five dog bites become infected. Dog bite victims often face emotional trauma, broken bones, lacerations and nerve and organ damage. Many of these injuries can require reconstructive surgery.
