Personal Injury Due to Animal Bites
Many people are bitten by animals every year. These injuries may be serious; aside from pain, they can cause physical and emotional suffering, infection, other medical complications — sometimes even death. The most common types of bites that we hear about are dog bites. Due to an increasing number of reported bite victims and the public’s response, most states now have “dog bite” statutes that hold the owner responsible if their pet injures someone else. Aside from dogs, these statutes may cover bites from wild animals kept as pets and animals in government parks, such as zoos. The applicable laws and possible claims may vary from state to state, so it is important to discuss your situation with a knowledgeable personal injury attorney to learn more about the legal options in your area.
What is Commercial Litigation?
Commercial litigation is a broad term used to describe any disputes that arise in a business setting. If the parties cannot settle their dispute on their own, they may turn to litigation to solve their business controversy. The injury suffered may be anything from a business relationship that is beyond repair, to a disagreement during a business transaction that cannot be resolved. Some other examples of types of commercial litigation include disputes over employment issues, business dissolutions, antitrust and antitrade proceedings, corporate fraud claims, breach of contract actions and debt collection issues. This is a sampling of types of claims, the scope of commercial litigation is very broad and can encompass both simple business related disputes and complex transactional matters (and everything in between).
