General Negligence Injuries

Plaintiffs' Personal Injury Law Firm

There is a general duty of care law in regard to all persons, businesses, and public places, which means that everyone owes a general duty of care to others in all activities, events, and daily operations. However, this law is broken on a daily basis as people are injured due to general negligence. If someone initiates harm, through actions that a “reasonable” person would not do to avoid risk or harm, it would be considered as committed negligence. These negligence actions would then transpire as being liable for injuries and damages associated to the victim. Overall general negligence occurs when a person is careless and reckless causing injury to another.

Some common examples of general negligence include: negligence on behalf of an inspector resulting in injuries caused by error in machinery, lack of security and supervision, negligence in construction causing a building to collapse, as well as dog attacks, exposure to hazardous chemicals, and wet floors in a supermarket. If these types of acts were committed due to the lack of care of an individual that caused another harm, it falls under the category of general negligence.

Common damages sought by victims in general negligence cases are loss of income, medical expenses, as well as other out of pocket costs. General negligence occurs all the time, but at times, victims may be too embarrassed to take up their matter with the courts.
