Accidents and Personal Injuries are inevitable part of the modern everyday life. If you decide to take steps toward protecting your legal rights after an accident or injury, you may have a number of general questions about "personal injury" cases. In our video we introduce a few general personal injury terms: NEGLIGENCE: the concept of negligence was developed under English Law and emerged as an independent cause of action in the 18th Century. Negligence is defined as “Conduct that falls below the standards of behavior established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm”. TORTS: torts are “civil wrongs that are recognized by the law as being grounds for you to file a lawsuit”. More importantly, these torts have resulted in injury or harm to one or more persons. This harm then provides the basis for a claim or a lawsuit by the injured party. Negligence can be complicated and difficult to prove. Only a good personal injury attorney can help explain the law and set up your case.
