WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PERSONAL INJURY

Personal injury covers a broad spectrum of injuries affecting the body or mind. Such injuries may leave the claimant with permanent physical or emotional scars, resulting in sudden financial strain.

Duty of Care

The defendant must owe the claimant a duty of care prescribed by law. A typical situation where a duty of care is owed applies to how motorists navigate their vehicles on roads. A duty of care is owed to:

  1. Motorist
  2. Pedestrian
  3. Bicyclist
  4. Motorcyclist

Specific Duty of Care Scenarios

In a slip and fall situation, the property owner, whether a business owner or a private individual, owes a duty of care to all users of the property. For injuries caused by medical malpractice, the relevant standard is the level of care expected of medical professionals in similar circumstances.

Conditions for a Claim

The defendant must have failed to exercise reasonable care. Determining what is reasonable may vary from situation to situation but will largely depend on the standard of care a reasonable person would exercise in similar circumstances.

The defendant's recklessness, carelessness, or failure to exercise reasonable care should have caused the injury to the claimant. The injury must be directly attributable to the defendant's failure to exercise due care in the circumstances for a successful claim to be made. The relevant question in every instance is, would the injury have occurred but for the defendant's negligence?

The claimant must suffer damage resulting in medical bills, disability, lost income, property loss, emotional distress, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, or loss of consortium. Loss of consortium refers to compensation paid for damages suffered by a family member injured or killed by the defendant's failure to exercise due care.
