Personal Injury Lawyer

Personal injury lawyers represent clients in "negligence" cases, where it is alleged that another’s conduct imposed an unreasonable risk upon another which results in “personal injury” or "wrongful death" to that person.  In order to maintain an action in negligence for personal injury, the plaintiff (the person bringing the claim) must be able to show the following elements:

• Duty: The Defendant had a legal duty requiring him to conduct himself according to a certain standard, so as to avoid unreasonable risk to others.  This standard is generally thought of as a “reasonable standard”.
• Breach of Duty:  The Defendant failed to conform to the duty or reasonable standard as explained above. This element can be thought of as "carelessness."
• Proximate cause:  A sufficiently close causal link between defendant’s act of negligence and the harm suffered by plaintiff. In other words the defendant’s breach caused the harm to the plaintiff.
• Damage: Actual damage suffered by plaintiff, i.e. personal injury, wrongful death, pain and suffering.
