Personal injury victims have suffered because of the reckless or negligent actions of another person or entity. Their pain is often compounded by the frustration of knowing that the party responsible for the damage has resumed their life without any repercussions. If you have been hurt, or lost some you love, because of another person’s or company’s negligence, you may be entitled to recover monetary damages.

The National Center for Injury Protection and Control reports that an estimated 31 million people are injured in accidents every year, and as many as 90,000 die as a result of these injuries. Victims suffer physical pain and mental trauma that may be permanent and life-changing. There are a number of reasons that people are injured or die through negligent actions and some of the leading causes are:

• Vehicle accidents (automobiles, tractor-trailers, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and public transportation such as planes, buses, boats and trains),
• Accidents that happen because of improperly maintained or unsafe property such as “slip and fall” accidents; violent crime resulting from inadequate security; dog bites from unrestrained animals, (premises liability claims),
• Dangerous or unsafe products including drugs, dietary supplements and other products,
• Medical malpractice injuries caused by a health care provider’s negligence,
• Work related accidents (including Workers’ Compensation claims)

If you have been injured by another person or corporation, or have lost someone you loved because of another’s negligence, you may be entitled to monetary compensation in the form of “damages”. Under the law, those injured in accidents caused by the negligence or recklessness of others are entitled to file a civil action suit – called a “tort” – against those who caused them harm. The person making the claim is called the plaintiff and the party who caused the injury is called the defendant. If the defendant is proven negligent, they must pay the plaintiff monetary “damages” including consideration for present and future loss of earnings capacity, medical expenses, pain and suffering and other monetary compensation.

Personal injury claims require proof that the plaintiff’s injury was caused by the negligent or careless actions of the defendant. It is therefore critical that a strong case and compelling evidence be presented. In order for you (the plaintiff) to recover damages, a skilled attorney must prove the critical elements of negligence

1. the defendant had a duty to you,
2. the defendant failed in that duty, and
3. you were injured because of the defendants’ breach of duty and damages resulted from the injury.

If you have been injured by a negligent event, you should take action immediately to ensure that “the stage is set” to protect your right to compensation. Consulting with a personal injury attorney who has the skill and credentials to effectively prepare your case is critical to ensuring that you receive the compensation to which you are entitled.
