What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law, also known as tort law, allows individuals who have been injured due to another party’s negligence or wrongful conduct to seek compensation for their damages. The goal of personal injury law is to make the injured party whole by providing financial compensation for the losses they have suffered.
Personal injury claims can arise from many different types of accidents and incidents, including motor vehicle accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, defective products, medical malpractice, and wrongful death cases.
To succeed in a personal injury claim, you must prove that the other party owed you a duty of care, that they breached that duty through negligent or wrongful conduct, that their breach caused your injuries, and that you suffered actual damages as a result. An experienced Pueblo personal injury lawyer can help you establish these elements and build your best case.
