Understanding Negligence
Successful personal injury lawsuits are based on the notion of negligence. Generally, negligence occurs when a person, party, or employer acts recklessly and causes injury to another person.
Our personal injury attorneys establish negligence by showing that the at-fault party:
- Had a legal responsibility to ensure the plaintiff’s safety;
- Failed – through conduct, action, or inaction – to fulfill that legal duty; and
- The plaintiff was harmed or injured as a result.
If you have been injured as a result of another party’s reckless, careless, or negligent actions, you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
