Negligence
Injuries can occur when we least expect them. We are at risk when we hurry into work, drive our children to soccer practice or pick up our dry cleaning. Sometimes accidents are just that: accidents. But many times injuries are the result of another party’s carelessness or recklessness. A person, business or government agency has acted negligently when that person or entity has failed to exercise reasonable care toward another, resulting in injury. Injuries caused by negligence often lead to physical, emotional and financial hardship.
There are many kinds of negligence that may result in serious injury and lead to litigation. Some of these are nursing home negligence, medical negligence, manufacturer negligence and landlord negligence. To prove that another party is legally responsible for causing harm, the injured party must show that:
1. The defendant or defendants owed him or her a legal duty of care;
2. Acted or failed to act in a certain way, thereby breaching that duty of care; and
3. Thus caused injury to the plaintiff, including financial or other harm.
Injured parties may seek a variety of damages from those responsible for their injuries. These damages may include lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and mental anguish. In some cases, an injured party’s loved ones may also seek compensation for damages such as loss of society and companionship.
