PERSONAL INJURY
Under the law, you may be entitled to medical care and monetary compensation if you suffer a Personal Injury that results from someone else's negligent or malicious behavior. A Personal Injury can be either physical or psychological in nature.
Traffic accidents are the most common cause of personal injuries. Every 10 seconds, someone in the United States is involved in a car accident, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But you may also suffer a Personal Injury as the result of a fall on someone else's property or as the result of using a defective product.
Property owners, including business owners, have a legal duty to maintaintheir property in a reasonably safe condition and to warn the public about any dangerous conditions. If they don't and someone is hurt, they may be liable.Manufacturers can also be held responsible when their products cause harm. Every year hundreds, if not thousands, of North Carolinians are injured as a result of goods that are defective, unsafe, or that fail to meet construction, performance and design standards.
