3 Accidents You Didn’t Know May Be A Connecticut Personal Injury Case

You may be familiar with many different types of Connecticut personal injury cases because you’ve been exposed to them often.  For instance, you probably know that an auto accident may result in the need for an attorney to review the incident.  You may have known that if you get bit by a dog, you may be entitled to bring action against the dog owner.

These common case types are familiar to many people and you may have even been involved in one type or other throughout your life.  However, there are some more obscure accidents that if you get involved in you may not know would constitute a Connecticut personal injury case.

Look at these three accidents below and be aware if they were to happen to you that you may be able to hold another party liable for any injuries you sustain.

  1. Escalator malfunction - Have you ever been riding an escalator and it abruptly stopped?  Now imagine when it abruptly stops, you fall and injure yourself.  This type of accident is rare, but it does happen, and it may result in a Connecticut personal injury case.

  2. Wobbly seating - Restaurants, movie theaters, public parks, and any place that has public seating may present a hazard.  When the seat you’re sitting in feels wobbly or unsafe, you should find a new seat or you run the risk of getting injured.  If you get injured you may have a case.

  3. Equipment rental - If you find yourself renting equipment from a local retailer to do a project around your house or host a party there is a risk.  While many of these rental companies require you to sign waivers, there may still be instances of faulty equipment that would constitute a personal injury.

The list of injuries that may constitute a Connecticut personal injury is long and these are just a sampling of some of the stranger types.  If you’ve been injured in an accident of any type, contact our office immediately for a review of your case.
