Overview of Filing a Personal Injury Lawsuit

People who suffer bodily harm and psychological trauma may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit, depending on the nature of the case. While not all accidents are preventable, a vast majority of them can be avoided if the correct precautions are taken.

For example, if someone experiences a slip and fall on ice in a parking lot or around a building, the property owner could be held responsible for negligence. This is also the case for personal driveways, in which the property owners could be held responsible for any injuries that may have incurred.

Other injuries that are often mentioned in personal injuries in claims are dog bites and other animal related injuries, in which the owner could be required to pay for any medical expenses.

Overall, personal injury law gives claimants the ability to file legal action against property owners or other responsible parties for failing to prevent this injury.

Most personal injury claims are settled out of court, but some personal injury lawsuits eventually make it to trial. It is important to note that New York and other states have different personal injury laws, but people can generally seek any damages related to physical injuries, emotional distress, and property damage.

Janet states that her slip and fall on ice was completely preventable, and that Maplewood should have maintained their property by breaking up ice in the parking lot.
