Common Personal Injury Accidents in Rockford

Personal injury law, also referred to as tort law, is intended to protect you if you or your property has been harmed by another person’s actions or failure to act. Yet, although almost any type of accident can result in a personal injury claim in Rockford, certain personal injury accidents tend to occur more frequently than others. These accidents include:

Car Collisions

A motor vehicle crash is defined as the event in which a vehicle collides with another car, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or stationary obstruction, such as a pole, tree, or building.

Even though many circumstances can cause these car accidents, they typically result from:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving such as eating, grooming, and texting while behind the wheel
• Intoxicated driving
• Poor weather, especially in Rockford, where the winter months tend to last from December until March and the inclement weather often results in snowy and icy roads, which can lead to dangerous driving conditions
• Reckless driving
• Vehicle defects, as well as motor vehicle part defects
• Hazardous intersections, including the intersection of Alpine and Guilford at Brendenwood or East State Street and North Perryville Road

Premises Liability Accidents

A premises liability accident often involves an individual seeking damages for a personal injury they sustained because a property owner failed to safely maintain their premises.

The most common types of accidents that often give rise to a premises liability claim include:

• Slip and fall accidents
• Dog bites
• Construction site negligence
• Parking lot accidents
• Inadequate security

Medical Malpractice Cases

Medical malpractice occurs when a physician treating a patient deviates from the accepted norms of practice in the medical community, causes an injury to the patient, and the injury results in substantial financial damages.

Wrongful Death Accidents

A wrongful death happens when an individual is killed because of another person’s negligence or misconduct. However, as a result of this death, a personal representative can file a lawsuit against those responsible for the decedent’s death and pursue damages on behalf of the decedent’s survivors or the estate.

Product Liability Accidents

A product liability accident occurs when the manufacturer or seller places a defective product in the consumer’s hands, and this product injures the consumer. It is also important to point out that everyone in the distribution chain can be held responsible for the harm and damages that the customer endured because of this product.

Other Personal Injury Accidents

Although the list above contains some of the more common types of Rockford accidents that result in a personal injury claim, this list does not include every single type of accident that can lead to a lawsuit. For instance, catastrophic accidents, burn injury accidents, boating accidents, trucking accidents, rideshare accidents, nursing home abuse, and even train accidents are other types of personal injury accidents that can also result in a viable legal claim.
