personal injury

A personal injury case arises when someone is injured as the result of a negligent act, or failure to act, by another person. Generally speaking, we all owe a duty to each other to use ordinary reasonable care in the course of our interactions with one another. When someone breaches that duty of reasonable care, and that breach causes harm to someone else, a personal injury case may arise.

Because a personal injury case is so heavily dependent on the facts of the incident, as well as numerous legal issues, it is important to call an attorney sooner rather than later. Oftentimes, there might be video footage of the incident, or information regarding witnesses to the incident that is circulating in the community. An attorney experienced with a variety of personal injury cases can act quickly to preserve the evidence before it is erased or lost.

01

Auto accidents are one of the most common types of personal injury cases. Another common type of personal injury case arises when someone is injured by a dangerous condition on someone else’s property. We often hear these cases referred to as “slip and falls,” or “trip and falls.”

02

Another way a personal injury case might arise, is when a person owes a heightened duty of care to another person because of a special relationship they have with that person. For example, a doctor has a duty to a patient to provide competent medical care that adheres to the generally accepted standard of care in that medical field. Likewise, a nursing home may have a duty to a resident to provide them with extra supervision if that resident has dementia and is prone to wander off.
