- Airplane, train and bus crashes.
- Car, truck and motorcycle crashes.
- Accidents occurring on real estate that is owned or occupied by somebody else.
- Injuries caused by dangerously defective products.
- Construction and industrial accidents.
- Nursing home negligence and abuse.
- Medical malpractice.
- Wrongful death.
