On-the-job accidents are one of the leading causes of injury in the United States. If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to compensation from your employer's insurance company. You may also be entitled to monetary damages for pain and suffering if someone other than your employer was responsible for your injuries.

Property owners and businesses are responsible for the safety of individuals while on their property. People slip, trip and fall every clay clue to crumbling sidewalks, wet or icy surfaces, or even unprepared potholes. 

Dog bites can cause severe injuries. Sometimes reconstructive plastic surgery is necessary and the pain and suffering can be substantial. You may be entitled to monetary damages from the dog owner's insurance company for not only your pain and suffering, but also for any permanent disfigurement. 

There is nothing more devastating than the loss of a family member, especially if caused by another's negligence. You may be entitled to compensation for damages including funeral expenses, medical bills, loss of earning capacity and pain and suffering. 

While most health care providers are conscientious professionals, mistakes can and do happen that result in irreparable harm. From birth defects to misdiagnosis, people suffer serious injury and death as a result of the negligence of doctors and other health care providers. 

People are seriously injured every day by products that malfunction or are improperly designed, or even packaged with inadequate warnings. Some manufacturers continue to sell products they know to be dangerous. If a product you believe was defective has seriously injured you, you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
