Michigan Personal Injury Attorney

General Negligence Causing Accidents and Injuries

Negligence is defined as the failure to do something which an ordinarily prudent person would do under similar circumstances, or the commission of an act that a reasonable person would not do. In civil law, if there is enough evidence to prove that an individual was guilty of negligence towards another, and this negligence resulted in injury, the injured party is entitled to recover compensation for the harm done to him or her. Depending on the circumstances, compensation may be for physical harm or disability and all forms of financial losses, including medical expenses, wage loss, loss of everyday abilities, emotional turmoil, medical equipment, rehabilitation, and more.

Everyone has a duty imposed by law to use reasonable care in conducting activities which have the potential to harm another. Negligent actions are those which ignore this duty and instead put others at risk. If you have recently been injured by the carelessness of another party, discuss your case with a Michigan personal injury attorney at Sommers Schwartz as soon as possible.
