About Personal Injury Law

Personal injury law is a subject that covers injuries caused by another's actions and the victim's ability to hold the responsible party legally accountable in civil court. Whether intentional or unintentional, certain conduct that causes physical and/or psychological injury to another person may grant the injured party grounds to sue for financial compensation that may cover medical bills, continued medical care, lost earnings, loss of potential earnings, and even emotional trauma and pain and suffering. An individual or company may be held liable for injuries they cause.

Do you have grounds for a claim?

There are three primary grounds for personal injury claims: negligence, strict liability and intentional conduct. The first is the most common. Negligence may be defined as a failure to act with a reasonable level of care or caution in the circumstances, resulting in injury to another person. Strict liability refers to an injury claim that can hold the responsible party accountable regardless of their particular intent. Dog bites and defective products are two types of claims that may involve strict liability. Finally, a personal injury lawsuit may be filed based on injuries caused by intentional misconduct, such as due to an assault or attack. Depending on the circumstances of the case, an injured party may be able to hold the person or company that caused or contributed to their injuries responsible for what they have done.
