Acts of violence – We understand that the loss of a loved one can be even more devastating if a violent act caused this death. Although violent acts may not intend to cause death, violence often spirals out of control, unfortunately, resulting in wrongful death. A violent act that causes death may include assault, child abuse, domestic violence, and use of a deadly weapon such as a gun. Consequences of these violent actions can be catastrophic for the defending party, but it is important to bring justice against those who have caused the death of your loved one.
When you decide to pursue an auto accident suit, you are relying on civil law. Civil law differs from criminal law in its overall intent. Criminal law cases involve accusations of illegal activity brought against a defendant by the government.
DUI/DWI

Traffic Violations

Fraud
Health insurance fraud is another type of financial abuse common in nursing homes. While on the surface this may appear as being detrimental only to the insurance company, in fact, it can damage the health of a patient when a nursing homes charge an insurance company for services, medication, or types of specialized care that the patient needs, and then fails to provide the paid-for service, to the detriment of the patient’s health.
Assault
Personal injury laws apply in situations where a defendant’s intentional conduct causes harm or more serious injuries to another person. An example of this is assault and battery.
The vast majority of serious injuries arising out of snow and ice result in from what is known as “ premises liability ” cases. In these cases, a business whether it is a restaurant, retail space, etc. failed to maintain their premises in a safe manner for their customers. We have all seen times when ice is built up on the roof or when there is a pile of snow in front of a business. We all know the hazards that those situations can cause, whether it is ice hitting you on the head or falling due to snow. The business has a duty to clear those situations if they are going to remain open to the public. Snow and ice injuries are the ones that we joke about the most, particularly when someone falls in the street or on the sidewalk. But it is no laughing matter when people suffer broken backs or concussion due to a business failing to keep their operations safe for their customers.
Property Damage
Car accidents are incredibly expensive for their victims. According to the CDC, over 2.5 million people were treated in emergency rooms in 2015 because of car accidents, costing Americans over $63 billion. This number does not account for property damage, loss of earning potential, or the cost of the deaths associated with car accidents. If someone else caused your crash, you should not be forced to pay these staggering costs alone. Call the Fall River car accident lawyers at the Law Offices of Ronald J.
