About Personal Injury Claims in Miami, FL

Miami Accident & Injury Lawyer

A personal injury may be defined as any injury that a person sustains because of another's conduct. These injuries may be physical or emotional in nature and may be caused intentionally or unintentionally. There are three main categories into which a Miami personal injury claim may fall:

• Negligence - this includes accidents or injuries caused because a person or entity fails to act with a proper level of care or caution for the safety of others. A common example is a car accident, where a driver may be distracted and may therefore run a red light and injure a pedestrian. This may be considered negligence and may be grounds for the injured pedestrian to file a personal injury claim against the driver.
• Intentional wrongdoing - this includes any injuries that a person intentionally causes to another. Although many of these are covered under criminal law, the victim of assault, violence or intentional injury may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit against the party responsible for their injuries.
• Strict liability - this refers to personal injury claims for which a party is accountable regardless of particular intent or negligence. Manufacturers of defective products may be held strictly liable for injuries or deaths their products cause to consumers, under personal injury law.
