You just tripped over a rug put outside the dentist’s office and your mangled body ended up on the concrete floor, 25 steps below. Immediate medical treatment and x-rays revealed permanent impairment to the shoulder and knee due to the fall. Adding humiliation to injury, you now have to borrow from your neighbors to pay the huge medical bills.
Now, who can you hold accountable? You would not have broken your bones in the first place had there not been a rug placed outside the dentist’s office. Do you blame the rug or your unlucky stars? Well, neither, if you have the good sense to hire a reputed Personal Injury Attorney, well-versed in the personal injury laws of the United States.
Personal Injury Lawyers will tell you that every individual owes a “duty of care” to those around him / her. If that “duty of care” is compromised due to negligence, intentional / unintentional acts or the unsafe actions of a third party, then the injured person deserves to be compensated for the monetary, physical or emotional damages suffered.
