Proving Negligence Led to Your Personal Injury
Personal injuries, by definition, occur because someone else acted negligently. When determining if negligence occurred, there are four factors that must be present to hold someone else responsible for your accident injuries and other damages. These four factors include:
- There were laws, rules, or reasonable and expected actions for them to follow.
- They did not follow these rules or standards, acting carelessly or recklessly.
- There was an accident that occurred because of their behavior, and this caused your injuries.
- You sustained damages due to their actions or inaction, which can include not only physical and emotional damages but also financial losses and expenses.
Negligence can cause injuries in almost any type of scenario. Some of the more common ways include:
- Traffic accidents, including passenger cars, trucks, motorcycles, and more
- Pedestrian and cyclist versus car accidents
- Fall injuries
- Pool accidents, drownings, and other water incidents
- Recreational injuries, including boating and sports injuries
- Construction accidents and other workplace injuries
- Offshore injuries and Jones Act accidents
- Medical or pharmaceutical malpractice based on mistakes made by a medical professional

Recovering Compensation for Your Bay St. Louis Personal Injuries
