Personal injury occurs when a person suffers some type of harm (temporary or permanent), due to someone else's actions. In most situations in a personal injury claim, the injured party (plaintiff) has to prove that the other party (defendant) acted negligently in causing the accident. There are many types of accidents that can generate a personal injury claim, such as injuring another in an automobile accident, failing to keep one’s property safe, or even a dog bite, to name a few.
The injured party can bring a claim or lawsuit to recover expenses related to medical care, lost wages, property damage, and pain & suffering. Injury can also include invasion of privacy and emotional distress, among other things.
If you have suffered an injury, which you believe is attributable to the negligence of another, we can help evaluate the merits of your claim and assist you in trying to obtain compensation for your injuries.
