Tort Laws and Personal Injury Cases

If you are injured in an accident on someone else's property, you may be eligible for compensation for your pain, suffering, medical expenses and other damages, especially if the accident was caused by negligence or carelessness on the part of the property owner. In the event of injury, the property owner may be held liable for damages if it can be proved that he or she failed to provide a safe environment for the injured party.

Personal injury claims fall under the category of tort law and in order to prove a case in court, the attorneys for the injured party must show that the four essential elements of a tort are in place.

• Duty – proving that the defendant had a duty to provide a safe environment for the plaintiff
• Breach of Duty – the defendant breached the outlined duty in some fashion
• Injury – the plaintiff must show that he or she was injured in an accident
• Injury caused by Breach of Duty – the plaintiff must show that the injury was caused by the breach of duty
