Personal injury lawsuits arise when you have been seriously injured in an accident due to the actions or negligence of someone else. The ultimate goal of any personal injury lawsuit is to determine who is legally responsible for the incident, and to ensure that the injured person is sufficiently compensated for their loss. Damages may include injury to your body, your mind and emotions, or your property.

Negligence is the failure to act with the same amount of care as a reasonable person would have used under similar circumstances. Negligence occurs when a person or entity acts to create an unreasonable amount of risk upon another person, resulting in injury. We all have a legal duty to act according to certain standards of conduct so as to avoid such risks, but if someone fails to comply with their duty, resulting in an injury, that person or entity may be held responsible for the damages incurred.
