Food Poisoning
It is estimated that although on an average 6 million people in the United States are victims to food poisoning each year, only a handful of these people try and get medical advice for the same. As a result, only about 10,000 such cases are actually tested to find out the main causes of this poisoning. Nevertheless, some of the most common reasons that one might suffer from food poisoning include consuming uncooked poultry or red meat that has gone spoilt due to various bacteria and parasites, drinking unpasteurized milk or non-chlorinated water, eating raw eggs or raw meats that have been contaminated by the Staphylococcus Aureus, Clostridium Perfringens and Bacillus Cereus bacteria. These bacteria are known to cause mild cases of diarrhea. Even bacteria that are present in the intestines like the Coli E157 can cause severe illness, kidney failures or even blood damage.
Asbestos Poisoning
One of the most common minerals that are used in home insulation systems is asbestos. The fibers which make up such asbestos are very strong and are also heat and chemical resistant making them perfect around the house. Apart from home uses, asbestos are also being used in the automobile, construction and textile industry. The particles that constitute such asbestos are friable implying that they are capable of being broken up into smaller particles that get swept along with air and can thus be easily inhaled by anyone.

Toxic Tort
Simply put, toxic tort is a type of personal injury lawsuit that a person can file when they have been exposed and injured by any toxic chemical released by a non legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturer. Basically there are four kinds of toxic tort; pharmaceutical cases, occupational cases, home cases, and environmental cases.

Most of these burns are second and third degree that affect at least 25% of the body. There are increasing numbers of fatalities that are also reported every year due to carless burn injuries. In many countries burn injuries are only second to motorcycle casualties which thereby makes these injuries continue to rise at an alarming rate. Treatment is not available at all hospitals and incase it is, it becomes an expensive affair. Second degree and first degree burns are hard to deal with as they take on a physical and emotional toll on the victim’s body and mind. At times these damages can be incurable and can have devastating drawbacks.
Paraplegia
Paraplegia results in the loss of physical movement in the lower areas of the body, typically below waist level. It damages the nerves that control the movement of the legs and results in paralysis. At times paraplegia may also affect other parts of the body. It can be caused due to an accident, sporting mishap or work calamity that arises out of carelessness.
Many paraplegia results are caused due to the consequences of other people’s carelessness. It can be the negligence of another driver, co-worker, or manufacturer of any hazardous machinery. Although there are no symptoms to speak about apart from the general paralysis, it can cause emotional scarring in the psychology of the victim. One’s career and social life can be affected in a bad way and it can lead to permanent bed or wheelchair confinement.
Train Accidents
The railways represent the backbone of the public transport system. When they were first introduced centuries ago, they were indispensible to the public and resulted in many laws being created so as to facilitate the easy transportation of people and cargo from place to place. Even in today’s modern world that is accustomed to fast pace cars, airplanes and speedboats, trains still hold their place of prestige with many people using this means of transportation every day to transit their daily activities. Along with the increase in the total length of railways over time, the dangers associated with them have also increased.
Concussions
A concussion is a dreadful cerebral injury that arises when people get cranial bleeding or swelling. It can occur due to a whole number of reasons that may cause unconsciousness and memory loss by physical infliction to the head. One of the major injuries that it can lead to is blood clotting on the cranial skull and it can affect few of the vital sensory nerves. In most cases it results in the victim experiencing a black out, whereas in rare cases it can lead to prolonged coma. An impact of any external force onto the head can damage the brain and push the victim into trauma. A car accident or collision with any object can be some of the probable causes.
Quadriplegia
Quadriplegia is dreadful outcome that occurs due the paralysis of the entire body. Its condition is very similar to the state of coma where there is absolutely no movement in either the hands or legs. It is caused due to the rupturing of the spinal bone particularly in the seventh and eighth rib that connects the nervous system together. Statistics show that every year over 100 people globally meet with such a paralysis due to mishaps that occur from accidents and other careless behavior. Most of these cases have been due to the behavior of other irresponsible people.
Defective Drugs
Drugs are life saving products that people use when they are sick or feeling ill. In other words, they put their life in the hands of a trained doctor who usually prescribes some prescription drugs. These drugs are used by millions of people around the globe as they provide treatment for most types of illnesses ranging from a simple cold and cough to also relieving the pains of serious sicknesses such as meningitis.
