Personal injury cases often result in compensation. There are a wide variety of injuries that can qualify as personal injuries. Many people never file a lawsuit against the guilty parties because they are simply unaware that their type of injury might qualify for compensation. Here are a few types of injuries you might consider filing for.

1. Injuries on Cruise Ships

According to Insider, about 60 people each year are injured somehow on a cruise ship. Often these injuries are a result of operational accidents. This can include fires, explosions, collisions, and even ships sinking. If you've been injured while on a cruise ship, you should contact a personal injury lawyer to find out if you could possibly qualify for compensation.

2. Dog Bites

When animals are not properly leashed or enclosed, it can lead to injuries. Dog bites are more common than you might imagine. A dog owner is always held responsible for the behavior of that dog. If it's known that the dog will bite or act aggressively, the owner is required by law to keep the dog leashed while it is outside of the house or outside of its enclosure. If the owner fails to do this and the dog attacks someone, the owner is held liable. You can talk with a personal injury lawyer to learn more about dog bite cases and to find out if you have a viable case.

3. Slip and Fall Cases

Slip and fall cases can include many different types of accidents in many different types of locations. Property owners are required to maintain a safe environment in which falls are unlikely to occur. Slip and fall accidents may not seem like that big of a deal at first, but the CDC reports that most traumatic brain injuries each year are a result of falls. Falling on another's property, especially if the environment was hazardous could be grounds for a personal injury lawsuit. Often these types of falls happen because surfaces are not well maintained, or they are wet or cluttered.

These are just a few examples of personal injury accidents that could qualify for compensation in a personal injury case.
