Personal injury cases arise after certain injuries and accidents. However, someone else must be at fault for your injury to result in a case.
Most personal injury cases are based on negligence, meaning another party caused an injury due to careless conduct. Negligence cases often involve car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accident, bicycle accidents, workplace accidents, slip and falls, negligent security and other incidents.
Other injury cases arise due to a party’s intentional misconduct. Assault is one example.
Strict liability is a third category of injury case. These arise when a party violates a safety law and causes an injury, whether carelessly or intentionally. Dog bites, premises liability and product defect cases can be strict liability.
Additionally, there are specific situations such as pedestrian accidents, Uber accidents, brain injuries, catastrophic injuries, child injuries, construction accidents, sexual abuse, and even wrongful death.
The best way to determine whether you have a personal injury case is to contact an experienced injury lawyer. Contact us today to learn more about your rights after an accident.
Most personal injury attorneys in Buffalo work on a contingency fee basis. You will not owe any money upfront when you enter into an attorney-client relationship – and you only pay if you receive a settlement or verdict in your favor.
Your lawyer’s fees will be deducted directly from your awarded compensation as a pre-agreed-upon percentage. That means you never need to worry about paying out-of-pocket.
