A personal injury is any injury caused by another person’s careless behavior. “Negligence” is often used to describe a driver who caused a pedestrian accident because they were texting at the wheel or a property owner who forgot to warn customers about a wet floor and someone slips.

If careless behavior that causes a person to suffer injury goes unpunished, it will happen again. In the legal world, there has to be structure and definitions. Without them, there would be chaos. For a person with a serious injury that was caused by a car accident, these definitions aren’t as important as making sure medical bills are paid or there is enough money to feed the kids after missing months of work to recover.

It’s easy to get frustrated with the law when you don’t understand it or it doesn’t seem fair. And feeling this way while in pain or being unable to perform daily tasks because of a distracted driver or hit-and-run accident is all the more difficult.

Personal injury lawsuits are not just so a person can take the money and run. Personal injury claims do provide accident victims with money, but they also hold a careless person or company responsible or punish them to set an example and discourage them from making the same mistake again in the future.

Some common causes of personal injury or physical harm caused by another’s carelessness include:

• Product defects (poor design, labeling errors, marketing misrepresentation, manufacturing mistakes)
• Unsafe premises (no security guards, poor lighting, missing warning signs)
• Slip-and-fall accidents
• Car accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Bus crashes
• Truck collisions
• Bicycle accidents
• Motorcycle crashes
• Construction accidents
• Assaults
• Dog/animal attacks

If reading the above list makes you a little paranoid, we don’t blame you. Accidents are scary and they can happen to anyone. We wish there was a way to guarantee that personal injury accidents will never happen. That’s why we do all we can to put our legal experience, resources, and knowledge to work so that a person can be fairly compensated for their suffering, and hopefully prevent a future injury to someone else. At Shulman DuBois, LLC, our Portland personal injury law firm chooses to help people during one of the most challenging times in their life.
