Personal Injury Complaints

Categories and Definitions of Personal Injury Complaints

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we represent people who have been injured because of someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or wrongful conduct. A personal injury complaint is the formal legal step that allows you to seek compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses after an injury.

Below are common categories of personal injury complaints that our office handles and what they generally involve.

1. Motor Vehicle Accidents

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we handle injury claims arising from:

  • Car accidents

  • Truck and commercial vehicle crashes

  • Motorcycle collisions

  • Pedestrian and bicycle accidents

  • Uber, Lyft, and other rideshare incidents

These complaints usually allege that another driver or entity was negligent—for example, by speeding, driving distracted, running a red light, or failing to yield—and that this negligence caused the collision and your injuries. We work to hold the responsible parties accountable and pursue the compensation you deserve.

2. Premises Liability (Slip, Trip & Fall)

Our firm represents clients injured on unsafe property, including:

  • Stores, restaurants, and apartment buildings

  • Parking lots, sidewalks, and stairways

  • Private homes and rental properties

In a premises liability complaint, we typically claim that the property owner or manager failed to keep the premises reasonably safe or failed to warn about a hazardous condition they knew or should have known about—such as spills, ice, broken steps, poor lighting, or hidden defects.

3. Product Liability

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we also handle cases involving dangerous or defective products, including:

  • Defective tools, machinery, or household appliances

  • Unsafe vehicles or vehicle components

  • Dangerous drugs or medical devices

  • Contaminated or mislabeled consumer products

A product liability complaint generally alleges that the product was defectively designed, defectively manufactured, or sold without adequate warnings, and that defect caused your injuries.

4. Medical Malpractice

When healthcare professionals fail to meet accepted standards of care and a patient is harmed, a medical malpractice complaint may be appropriate. These cases often involve:

  • Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis

  • Surgical errors

  • Medication mistakes

  • Birth injuries

  • Failure to order proper tests or timely follow up

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we work with you to evaluate whether a reasonably careful provider in the same situation would have acted differently, and whether that failure caused significant harm.

5. Nursing Home Abuse and Neglect

We represent individuals and families in claims involving injuries in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and long-term care settings, such as:

  • Bedsores (pressure ulcers)

  • Falls and fractures

  • Malnutrition or dehydration

  • Medication errors

  • Physical, emotional, or sexual abuse

These complaints generally allege that the facility or staff failed to provide appropriate care, supervision, or protection, violating both professional standards and residents’ rights.

6. Construction and Workplace Accidents

While workers’ compensation may cover part of a work-related injury, there are often situations where you may also have a third-party personal injury claim. At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we pursue claims against:

  • General contractors and subcontractors

  • Property owners

  • Equipment manufacturers

  • Outside drivers or vendors on the job site

These complaints may allege unsafe work conditions, lack of fall protection, defective machinery, or violations of safety rules that lead to serious injuries.

7. Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

We represent clients injured by dog bites and other animal attacks. These complaints often claim that:

  • The owner is legally responsible for the animal’s actions; and/or

  • The owner knew or should have known the animal was dangerous and failed to control or restrain it properly.

We seek compensation for physical injuries, scarring, infections, nerve damage, and the emotional trauma that can follow an attack.

8. Wrongful Death

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we understand how devastating it is to lose a loved one because of another’s negligence or wrongful conduct. A wrongful death complaint may arise from:

  • Motor vehicle crashes

  • Medical negligence

  • Defective products

  • Construction or workplace accidents

  • Violent or reckless behavior

In these cases, surviving family members or the estate may seek damages for loss of financial support, loss of companionship, funeral and burial expenses, and other related losses.

9. Catastrophic Injury

We handle cases involving life-changing injuries, including:

  • Traumatic brain injuries

  • Spinal cord injuries and paralysis

  • Severe burns

  • Amputations

  • Loss of vision or hearing

These complaints focus on the long-term impact of the injury—ongoing medical care, assistive devices, home modifications, diminished earning capacity, and the overall effect on your ability to live and work. At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we work to fully document these losses and fight for compensation that reflects the true scope of your injuries.

10. Intentional Torts (Assault, Battery, and Related Claims)

Not all personal injury cases are based on simple negligence. Our firm also handles intentional tort claims, which may involve:

  • Assault and battery

  • Intentional infliction of emotional distress

  • Certain forms of false imprisonment or abuse

These civil complaints may proceed alongside or separate from criminal charges and are aimed at compensating victims for physical and emotional harm caused by deliberate acts.

11. Other Negligence-Based Claims

At the Law Office of Mark A. Bailey, we also handle a variety of other negligence-based personal injury matters, including:

  • Dram shop and social host liability (claims against bars, restaurants, or social hosts who overserve visibly intoxicated individuals who later cause harm)

  • Negligent security (inadequate security measures leading to assaults, robberies, or attacks on the property)

  • Recreational and sports injuries where the injury is caused by unreasonably dangerous conditions or conduct, not just the ordinary risks of the activity
