Negligence

What Types Of Claims Are Caused By Negligence?

The term negligence is defined as the conduct that falls below  the standard of care required by law for the protection of others.  In many statutes and contracts, it is expressed as failing to do what a reasonable and prudent person would do under the same or similar circumstances.  When attempting to prove negligence caused an accident or an injury, in addition to showing that someone owed a duty of care which was not met, it must also be shown that negligence was the proximate cause of the injury or damages. 

Negligence can occur in many circumstances, such as in medical malpractice cases, defective product cases, or even in an automobile accident.  If you believe someone acted negligently which resulted in harm to you or a loved one, you should consult a Tampa personal injury attorney to protect and preserve you rights. 

Determining Negligence

As with any accident that results in an injury, in order to present a claim for damages, a certain degree of negligence must have occurred.  The drunk driver hitting a pedestrian, the doctor prescribing incorrect medication, the food processer that allowed contaminated food to be sold, all have a degree of negligence that must be proven to have occurred in order to obtain a settlement for whatever injuries or damages were sustained.  With the Law Offices of Smith & Stallworth, personal injury lawyers, we can provide you with the skill, knowledge and resources you will need in order to properly investigate and document your negligence claim.  A thorough review of all of the facts of the negligent act can provide you with the options you have to pursue reimbursement for medical expenses, lost wages and even pain and suffering caused by the accident.  With our caring and dedicated legal team, we have helped numerous clients in the Tampa area.  We can do the same for you.  Contact us today.
