Personal Injury

Personal injury is defined as ‘physical injury inflicted on a person’s body.’ A number of things can cause this. According to Noll Law Office, for an individual to claim personal injury, they must show that:

• The defendant owed a duty of care – An example would be motorists. They have a duty to drive responsibly for the safety of the pedestrians.

• The Defendant violated that duty by failing to act reasonably – If the motorist was driving above the speed limit, they have failed to act responsibly.

• The Defendant’s failure to fulfill the duty caused injury to another – When the speeding motorist causes any injuries to a person because of their reckless driving, then the victim can claim personal injury.

Besides automobile related injuries, other common lawsuits for personal injury include:

• Dog bite injuries – The victim can sue the owner of the dog that causes an injury to him/her without provocation.

• Medical malpractice – When something avoidable occurs in a medical situation, such as the inaccurate reading of radiology examinations or the wrong diagnosis and treatment is given, the victim may sue the medical staff responsible.

• Nursing home abuse and neglect – Nursing home neglect and abuse injuries include bed sores, burns, sexual assault, and death. Noll Law Office personal injury lawyers are ready to use the INHCA to the fullest extent.
