Negligence is a failure to exercise care where a reasonably prudent person would do so.
Getting involved in an accident does not only cause physical injuries but can be emotionally detrimental as well. Personal injury basically occurs due to the negligence or recklessness of another individual. Although monetary compensation can never return a person’s health or erase the lasting effects of a serious personal injury, it can alleviate many of the day-to-day problems confronted by personal injury victims and their families. Having to deal with the pain and stress caused by someone else’s negligence can be overwhelming, but the fact that you can receive compensation for the injury may make things easier for you.
Personal injury is a branch of law that is designed to protect persons that are harmed by the careless or harmful acts of others. In order to pursue a personal injury claim, you must establish that someone is liable for your injuries due to intentional wrong, negligence, or strict liability. Negligence is generally the most common basis for a personal injury case.
