What Personal Injury Law Covers
Common Case Types
Establishing a duty of care is the first step in any injury case, as it proves the other party had a legal obligation to keep you safe. When a driver ignores a red light or a doctor skips a safety check, they are failing to meet this standard, which opens the door for a personal injury claim.
Legal negligence occurs when a person or entity breaches their responsibility to others, leading to an avoidable accident. Whether it’s a distracted driver or a negligent property owner, this lack of ordinary care is the foundation for seeking compensation for medical bills and other losses.
