PERSONAL INJURY LAW:
We represent individuals injured by the negligence or wrongdoing
of other people and/or businesses.
A personal injury case is one where usually the issue is
negligence. It can also include intentional acts.
Negligence is broken down into duty, breach, causation issues,
and damages.
DUTY: People have a "duty" towards others in society. This duty
is to use the amount of care that the ordinarily prudent person is
supposed to use under the circumstances. So, for instance,
drivers of automobiles have a "duty" not to run red lights, since
doing so is dangerous to others. If there is no duty, then there is
no negligence.
BREACH OF DUTY: Two ways to show breach are 1) a person
actually knows they are putting another person at risk, and they
take the chance anyway (ie., person sees the red, decides to run
it, hoping he won't hit anyone, but knowing he could); 2) person
doesn't see the risk, but a reasonable person in the same
circumstance would have foreseen the risk of hurting someone
(ie., someone answers a cell-phone while driving, is distracted,
and causes a collision).
CAUSATION: The act must have actually caused the injury
claimed. It must also be foreseeable to a reasonable person that
the injury in question could have happened.
DAMAGES: In order to collect for an injury claim, there must be
actual damages caused by the act. Damages include, but are not
limited to, medical bills, lost income, property damage, rental
bills, towing bills, pain and suffering, mental anguish, etc.
If you have a personal injury due to negligence because of an
auto accident, workplace injury, 18 wheeler, or any other injury
caused by someone else, you need to talk to our lawyers. Call for
a free consultation with an attorney today. Discuss your personal
injury case with our attorneys so we can determine the next step
in your path to recover from the auto accident, workplace injury or
other injury that has caused you harm or hurt.
