Negligence

Negligence, when it comes to personal injury cases, means that someone did not do something that they had the legal duty to do, and someone suffered an injury as a result. Some examples of negligence is a grocery store failing to clean up a spill, causing a fall, or someone not keeping an eye on their dog and it bites a child. There are many different types of negligent actions, but the result is usually the same in that someone gets permanent or painful injuries. 

Unfortunately, many people think that they just have to accept whatever an insurance company says they are entitled to for their injuries and do not consult with their own lawyer. Insurance companies are not looking to provide a fair settlement for someone who is injured, but instead is looking to protect their own financial best interests.
