Personal Injury

Any injury (either physical or financial) that occurs because of another person’s neglect or carelessness is known as a “personal injury” in legal terms. For example, when a speeding trucker causes a serious truck accident, they can and should be held responsible for the injuries suffered by the victim(s).

Personal injuries can happen in a wide variety of situations, including medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, and product liability.

Personal injuries may be caused by car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, auto accidents or a variety of other incidents.

Elements of a Successful Personal Injury Case

Winning compensation in a personal injury case is often more complex than it appears. In order to be successful, your claim must contain the following elements:

• Presence of a duty – In legal terms, a “duty” is a standard of behavior that people owe each other. For instance, business owners have a duty to maintain the safety of their premises for visitors. You must prove that a duty exists in order to establish your case.
• Breach of the duty – You must also prove that the other party breached their duty of care to you. In a car accident case, this would involve proving that the other party drove recklessly and/or ignored traffic laws, breaching their duty to be a safe driver.
• Cause – This is the most crucial aspect of your claim. You need to prove that the other party’s breach of duty directly or indirectly caused your injuries. This is why having a skilled attorney on your side is invaluable; the cause must be linked in a way that leaves no room for doubt.
