Negligence in Brevard County Injury Claims

Proving Negligence in Your Case

Personal injury law is founded on the legal concept of negligence. Everyone in our society has a responsibility to take sensible precautions to avoid causing accidents, and can be held liable for injuries resulting from careless or reckless behavior. Provided that a reasonable person in the same situation could be expected to have prevented your injury by acting differently, you are most likely entitled to recover financial compensation by filing an accident claim, either as a tort lawsuit or as a claim against the responsible party's insurance policy.

Liability insurance exists to protect an individual or corporation from the risk of being sued for accidents caused by negligence-otherwise, the person could easily be faced with a costly lawsuit after making a mistake or a serious error in judgment which leads to another person suffering injury. In the absence of such insurance coverage, the defendant to a successful personal injury or wrongful death claim may be forced to directly pay the plaintiff, either out of cash reserves, liquidating assets or even being subjected to a wage garnishment or a property lien.
