Negligence and Personal Injury: How Skip McManes Can Help You Obtain the Compensation You Deserve
When we go about our daily lives, we trust that others will take reasonable care to avoid causing harm or injury to us or our loved ones. Unfortunately, accidents can and do happen, and when they do, they can result in severe physical, emotional, and financial consequences. In situations where someone else’s actions caused or contributed to your injuries, you may be entitled to compensation under the law.
At the heart of many personal injury cases is the concept of negligence. Negligence occurs when someone fails to take reasonable care, resulting in harm to others. Examples of negligence in the context of personal injury cases may include:
- A driver who runs a red light and causes a car accident
- A property owner who fails to maintain safe conditions, resulting in a slip and fall accident
- A healthcare provider who provides substandard care, resulting in harm to a patient
