Examples include being rear-ended in a car collision, being struck by a car that ran a red light, being injured at a business establishment where a substance on the floor caused the slip and fall, being detained or arrested without just cause, being wrongfully accused of a crime, being injured by a doctor or medical facility as a result of medical negligence.
