00:00:44.000 going to go right into it and discuss
00:00:45.840 the top five most common types of
00:00:48.000 personal injury cases
00:00:49.760 most of the time personal injury cases
00:00:51.600 are settled without a formal lawsuit but
00:00:53.760 sometimes they go to trial or even more
00:00:55.920 likely the case will go to a mediation
00:00:57.680 or arbitration it’s a middle ground
00:00:59.760 between trial and a settlement where the
00:01:01.680 two parties can resolve a case
00:01:03.920 personal injury cases come in a variety
00:01:05.840 of types from auto accidents to medical
00:01:07.920 malpractice some of these cases are
00:01:10.000 common and damages are minimal which
00:01:11.760 means there isn’t much money involved
00:01:13.439 however other cases have millions of
00:01:15.360 dollars and hundreds of parties related
00:01:17.439 to the claim
00:01:18.720 okay so let’s get into the top five
00:01:20.640 number one
00:01:22.159 auto accident injury

00:01:26.240 this is the number one type of injury
00:01:28.000 case
00:01:28.880 regardless of whether it was drunk
00:01:30.320 driving speeding reckless driving if
00:01:33.040 you’ve been injured because of someone
00:01:34.320 else’s negligence you’ll have to be able
00:01:36.320 to prove this and as i’ve found most of
00:01:38.640 the time that can be easier said than
00:01:40.400 done

00:01:43.200 every type of auto-related accidents

00:02:22.879 compensated number three
00:02:25.200 medical malpractice
00:02:27.120 medical malpractice is far more common
00:02:30.000 than anyone would like to believe
