There are many types of personal injury law practiced in the United States. Depending upon your type of injury, you may want to seek an attorney or law firm that specializes in that type of injury. Here's a list of most personal injury categories:

• Assault & Battery - a deliberate attack upon you, including road rage.
• Automobile & Truck Accidents - vehicular collisions and vehicle/pedestrian wrecks.
• Animal Attacks - especially dog bites and petting zoo injuries.
• Negligence - any situation where ordinary care was not taken, either overtly or by ommission, that resulted in injury.
• Workplace Injuries - injuries suffered while working on company premises in the course of regular employment.
• Traumatic or Catastrophic Injuries - those which may result in loss of limbs or significant damage to the body which will require long-term care or may be irreversible.
• Wrongful Death - a death as a result of negligence.
• Medical or Professional Malpractice - wrongful acts which may cause injury or death, or cause non-injury monetary damages.

Additionally, there are sub-sections of these categories that might include Nursing Home Abuse or Neglect,and so-called "slip and fall" accidents that occur on either private or publicly-accessible premises.
