What is a La Marque Personal Injury Claim?

In some cases, an accident is really nobody’s fault—it is simply an accident. In other cases, an accident is the result of negligence on the part of another person or business. Slip-and-fall accidents are often caused by a hazard that the property owner or employees failed to address or warn about. A dangerous or defective product can trigger a product liability claim. Other types of personal injury claims include medical malpractice, dog bites, wrongful death, auto accidents, workplace accidents, and nursing home abuse and neglect. With more than two million auto accidents each year (car, truck, motorcycle, auto-pedestrian, and auto-bicyclist), auto accidents take the top spot for the number of personal injury claims.

An auto accident could be nothing more than a minor bump-in that does not cause more than bumps and bruises, or it could be a more serious accident that causes severe, even catastrophic injuries. The at-fault driver must be held liable for injuries that resulted from his or her negligence. Negligence occurs when a driver fails to act in a manner that another reasonable person would have done, given similar circumstances.

Drivers are tasked with following all traffic laws as well as the rules of the road. When a driver fails to follow the law or the rules of the road and an accident occurs, that driver is liable for resulting injuries. Having a La Marque personal injury lawyer from Sullo & Sullo to guide you through the process can be a significant benefit. Once you have a lawyer by your side, the insurance company knows you cannot be tricked or taken advantage of.
