Personal Injury
|
 |
Personal Injury refers to injuries to people
usually from accidents but also included are injuries from defective
prescription drugs, medical malpractice and all other injuries,
diseases or medical conditions that result from the negligence of any
person or company. The word “personal” also applies to accidents,
injuries and diseases suffered by those other than yourself. A better
term would be “bodily injury”. An injury or the death of a family
member would certainly be included within the use of the term “personal
injury.”

|
| The
term
“negligence” comes from the word “neglect” and conveys the meaning
that a person or company has been neglectful in their duty to act or
perform reasonably. If a person or company fails to perform to the
standard of a reasonable person or company, they can be held legally
responsible for their injuries and damages. Intentional conduct is
worse than negligent conduct and companies and individuals can be held
liable for punitive damages if there conduct was intentional or
“grossly” negligent. For example, a prescription drug manufacturer is
legally expected to obey all federal and state laws regulating their
business and they are expected to do the same testing and reporting as
other drug manufacturers. However, when drug manufacturer skips part of
the process to save money or withholds drug warnings to sell more
products, they can be held legally liable for resulting injuries,
diseases and damages. |

If anyone in your family
has suffered an injury, disease or death, you should not attempt to
determine if someone was negligent because that is the job of a lawyer.
If someone you know has suffered an injury, disease or death you should
contact a lawyer and determine if you have the right to recover from a
negligent company or person. It’s not just about money, it’s about
holding people and companies responsible and accountable for bad acts.
