Personal Injury FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
What is “personal injury”?
Personal injury refers to an area of law which involves injuries to people that are caused due to negligence, wrongful conduct or carelessness of others. For example, if the owner of a restaurant failed to clean up a spill in a timely manner or failed to put a warning sign up, and a patron slipped and fell because of the spill, the restaurant owner may be able to be held legally responsible for the patron’s injuries, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
What is negligence?
Negligence is defined as causing harm to another person because of one’s actions or inaction, or because of a failure to provide reasonable care. The failure to exercise caution when driving, the failure of a property owner to properly maintain property grounds, and the failure of a doctor to provide the acceptable standard of care are all forms of negligence. A personal injury lawyer can help a victim of negligence to bring a lawsuit against the responsible party in order to seek financial compensation for injuries and losses suffered.
What can I recover financial compensation for?
