Determining Fault

After an accident, you most likely feel very confused. After all, one moment you were fine and the next you were injured. Once you have received medical attention, the next step is to determine whether or not your accident was caused by someone else. This may sound scary, but it does not mean that someone set out to intentionally hurt you. Instead, a personal injury is caused when someone else is careless. For example, if a company mops up their floor and they forget to put out a “slippery when wet” sign, then this is a personal injury. The company was negligent and should have put the sign up to warn people walking by that the floor was slippery. It was not targeted against a specific person on purpose. Other areas and examples of personal injury are as follows:

Medical Malpractice

This occurs when a medical procedure goes wrong. For example, perhaps the medical staff leaves a surgical instrument inside a patient by accident after surgery, or perhaps the wrong side of the body was accidentally operated on.

Premises Liability

Much like the aforementioned example, this is when a property owner does not keep up their property to specific standards — this can look like a slippery floor or a wobbly step that leads to an accident.

Auto Accidents

Anything involving a car and another car, truck, bike, or pedestrian all fall under personal injury law.

Wrongful Death

If you have recently lost a loved one due to someone else’s negligence, contact a New Jersey personal injury attorney for help. Wrongful death can also be part of other areas such as medical malpractice that leads to death.

Workers’ Compensation

If you are injured on the job even after following all safety protocols, then that falls on the responsibility of your employer. Your employer is required to provide you with a safe workplace as well as equipment to protect yourself. If they fail to do this, then you have a case.

Contact An Attorney

Your first step in a case after seeking medical attention is to reach out to an attorney. They will set up an initial consultation to review the details of your case. At this time, they will let you know if you have a case. They can also provide a timeline on how long your case will take and an estimate of the compensation you might be eligible to receive. If you have any questions, this is a good time to ask them, so you are well informed about your potential case.
