• Car accidents – These include accidents that affect professional drivers or delivery personnel. They can also include motor vehicle accidents that occur when traveling between work locations or on work-related errands, such as visiting vendors or purchasing office supplies. These types of claims are very common among truck drivers, delivery drivers for companies like FedEx, UPS, and Amazon, and off-site workers like landscapers and construction workers who are traveling from job to job.
• Electrocutions – Often these accidents involve cable, lighting, and other installers at offsite locations who may encounter electricity from exposed high-voltage wires. These types of cases affect a variety of professionals across industries.
• Defective products or machinery – This could include medications or a device or product. All manufacturers have the responsibility to produce a safe product and package it with clear warnings or instructions. Failure to do so can result in an injury and a lawsuit against the manufacturer of the product and/or machine.
• “Woodson” and “Pleasant” Cases – Even if your employer carries workers’ comp insurance and you were hurt on the job, you may be able to sue the employer for a work-related injury if you can prove that the employer intentionally engaged in misconduct knowing that such conduct was substantially certain to cause injury or death; or if a co-employee engages in willful, wanton, and reckless negligence that results in injury.

It should be noted that these types of cases are exceptionally uncommon and difficult to prove given the very high burdens of proof on the injured worker.
