The Basis for a Personal Injury Claim or Lawsuit
Personal injury is defined as any type of injury suffered in an accident. These injuries often arise from motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, or work accidents. To file a personal injury claim or lawsuit, you must have legal grounds to do so. In Florida, the grounds for filing such a claim or lawsuit include:
- Strict Liability – when the behavior or direct actions of an individual cause harm or injury to another regardless of fault, this is referred to as “strict liability” and commonly applies to cases where a person’s injuries were caused by the handling of dangerous or hazardous materials.
- Intentional act or behavior – assault, battery, fraud, and invasion of privacy are all examples of personal injury claims based on an intentional act or behavior. In other words, one person intended to harm another.
- Negligence – legal dictionaries commonly define “negligence” as the “failure to act rationally or use reasonable care” and the “failure to exercise the care toward others which a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.”
If you feel that any of these apply to your circumstances, a Palm Bay personal injury attorney from the Graves Thomas Rotunda Injury Law Group can determine the value of your cases and sue the person responsible for your injuries.
