What is Personal Injury?
Everyone has the duty to use reasonable care for their own safety and the safety of others. When a person or company fails to meet this duty, it is called negligence. When another’s negligence results in injury, the injured party may be eligible to seek compensation for his or her damages.
How Does Negligence Cause Personal Injury?
Many things can cause personal injury. Common types of negligence resulting in personal injury include:
- Unsafe driving by a motorist or tractor-trailer operator
- Defective products, including defective drugs and medical devices
- Unsafe conditions on property
- Dangerous workplace conditions
In any type of situation resulting in personal injury, if the person or company causing injury failed to act with reasonable care to prevent injury to another, that person or company will be liable for the damages that are caused by the injury.
How a Personal Injury Attorney Can Help
A personal injury lawyer can assist those who have been injured and help to determine who is at fault. In the case of fatalities, the surviving family members may be entitled to work with a personal injury lawyer in filing a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of their lost loved one.
When negligence results in injury, an injured party suffers loss in various ways. The law allows an injured party to pursue damages to recover those losses. Common types of damages recoverable in a personal injury case include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Loss of ability to earn
- Scarring and disfigurement
When someone’s negligence results in the death of another person, family members of the person killed may recover damages for the wrongful death of their loved one. Wrongful death damages include:
- Medical expenses incurred prior to death
- Conscious pain and suffering prior to death
- Loss of the economic support of the loved one
- Loss of the companionship of the loved one
- Funeral expenses
If the actions causing injury are malicious or so reckless that intent to harm can be inferred, the responsible party can be liable for punitive damages to punish wrongful conduct and deter similar conduct in the future.
Victims of negligence and their families are encouraged to seek the counsel of a personal injury attorney to learn more about their rights and remedies.
