What is a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

If you or a loved one were injured in an accident that was caused by the negligence of another party (or parties), then you may be eligible for a personal injury lawsuit.

Personal injury suits typically contain these 4 elements:

  1. The negligent party who was responsible for the injuries owed a duty of care to the injured party
  2. The negligent party breached that duty of care
  3. The breach of duty is what caused the injured party’s or victim’s injuries
  4. The victim was damaged because of the negligent party’s breach of duty
