Injuries from Negligence
Pursuing Compensation from Another’s Negligence
Negligent acts of commission or omission are the basis of a personal injury claim. When seeking compensation for an accident-related injury, the negligent aspects of the incident must be established. This includes proving that the party involved had a duty to act with a reasonable standard of care, that duty was violated, and that this violation resulted in an accident that caused injuries.
The compensation that is awarded in a personal injury case can include damages for:
- Medical care and treatment
- Lost current and future wages
- Pain
- Suffering
- Emotional trauma
- Property damage
- Medical equipment
- Long-term care
- Funeral costs
