What Qualifies As a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

When people hear the term “personal injury lawsuit” they typically envision a motor vehicle accident. A car accident can form the basis of a personal injury lawsuit; however, there are numerous other types of injuries that can also be compensated through a personal injury lawsuit.

Personal injury lawsuits are based on the legal concept of negligence. In a negligence lawsuit, for the victim to recover for his or her injuries it must be proven that the defendant was negligent. Negligence is a complicated legal term that refers to the fault or responsibility of the defendant. Along with motor vehicle accidents, other scenarios that often give rise to a personal injury lawsuit include:

Slip and fall accidents – if you slip and fall while on someone’s property you could be entitled to compensation for your injuries.
Premises liability accidents – a property owner has a duty to keep the premises as safe as possible for visitors. If you are injured on the property of another it could be considered negligence.
Dog Bites – dog owners have a duty to keep their animal from harming others. If you are injured by a dog bite you could be entitled to compensation.
