Common Personal Injury Cases
While every personal injury case is unique, there are some common accidents and injuries that our Firm frequently encounters. These can include, but are not necessarily limited to, car accident claims, product liability cases, dog bites and dog attacks, nursing home negligence cases, workers' compensation claims, disability insurance cases, and slip and fall injuries.
Car Accidents
Every car accident victim should seek medical attention if they have been injured. A car accident injury claim for damages resulting from injuries usually depends on medical records linking the car accident to the injuries received. An experienced car accident lawyer handling your car accident injury claim can be of enormous value in getting you the compensation you deserve …
Class Actions
A “class action” is a representative action in which one or more injured people pursue a case for recovery of personal injury damages on behalf of themselves and a “class” of other plaintiffs. Currently the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin is investigating several personal injury lawsuits that have received national attention, including infections from contact lens solution, heart attacks and other injuries from recalled drugs like Vioxx, liver damage from drugs like Seroquel as well as hundreds of local North Carolina personal injury claims. Chances are we’ve handled a situation similar to yours.
Dangerous Dog Attacks
Dogs bite approximately four million Americans in the U.S. every year, and over 800,000 of those bites require medical treatment (R. John Presutti, D.O., Mayo Clinic, Jacksonville, FL). Many of these incidents involve an animal owned by a victim’s family or neighbors …
Product Liability
Defective or deficient consumer products that cause injuries to consumers can be the subjects of product liability lawsuits brought to trial by a personal injury lawyer. Frequently recalled products include cars, pharmaceutical and over-the-counter drugs, children’s toys, defective articles of clothing, and other common household products.
Nursing Home Negligence
Loved ones residing in nursing homes should be monitored for signs of abuse or neglect. Patients have become severely ill, permanently injured, or even killed as a result of negligence by nursing home staff and management. Our personal injury lawyers may be able to help you defend your loved ones.
Slip and Fall Accidents

Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
If you are seeking a personal injury lawyer you have come to the right place. We know that accidents and injuries are an inevitable part of life, but the fact that accidental mishaps are common does not resolve the pain and suffering accidents can cause. This is especially true if that injury could have been avoided. For example, some drugs are not completely tested for safety or removed from the market despite concerns about them. Some products are found to be dangerous.
If you or a loved one have suffered in an accident, from taking a dangerous drug, using a recalled product or from any other cause, you may be thinking about how to protect your legal rights by consulting with a personal injury attorney. Learning about personal injury litigation, and cases we are currently investigating, may help you determine whether you need the counsel of an experienced personal injury lawyer from a firm such as the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin.
