What Is Personal Injury?
Some people find the term “personal injury” counterintuitive because it does not refer to an injury at all. Rather, personal injury is the field of law that helps victims recover from “torts,” which are acts or omissions by an individual or institution that inspires injury or harm in another person.
If you have questions about how to file a personal injury claim, or you want help winning your case, our experienced attorneys are here for you 24/7.
What Is Considered Negligence?
Personal injury claims are based on “negligence.” Negligence is legally defined as: “a failure to behave with the level of care that someone of ordinary prudence would have exercised under the same circumstances.”
You can also think of negligence as a legal way to say “carelessness.” If someone’s negligence becomes a tort or causes your injuries and losses, you will have a convincing personal injury case.
For a successful suit, you must prove:
The person you are suing (the defendant) owed you (the plaintiff) a legal duty. In a car accident, all drivers owe an implicit duty of care to everyone else on the road.
The defendant breached their duty towards you. For example, The driver hit you while texting and driving or driving under the influence.
You suffered an injury. In a car accident, you have medical bills from the emergency room on the date of your accident.
The defendant’s breach caused your injury. For example, your lawyer shows that you would not have been injured if the other driver obeyed traffic laws.
