Flint Injury Law

To make things simple, Flint injury law can be broken down into two broad categories. On one hand you have negligence cases where the person responsible for the injury was careless. On the other hand, you have intentional torts where the person who causes the accident intentionally acts in the manner that causes the injury to happen.

Understanding Negligence

In automobile personal injury law cases, the driver who causes the accident will usually be said to have been negligent. The person who is alleged to have been responsible for the accident may have been careless; however they didn’t expect the injury to occur.

In a successful negligence case, the injured should be able to demonstrate the following:

• That a duty of care was owed by the person who caused the accident to the person who was injured.

• The person responsible for the injury failed to demonstrate a duty of care.

• The personal injury occurred because the person who caused the injury failed to demonstrate a duty of care.

• The resulting injury could reasonably have been expected as a result of the carelessness.

A Flint personal injury law case will usually rely on these fundamentals to establish whether any liability exists.

Intentional Acts or Torts

An intentional tort happens when the person or organization causing the injury deliberately performs the act that causes the injury to happen. In most cases, whether or not the injury was intended will not be an issue – it rests on whether the act was intentional that caused the injury to happen.

Under Flint personal injury law, a criminal’s actions will sometimes also give rise to an injury lawsuit as a result of their intentional act. In practicality, an insurance company will not usually provide cover for intentional torts. In some cases, this could mean that it is harder to recoup the money owed.

Child abuse and assault are two common types of cases that will usually be considered intentional torts.

In many cases, one injury may give rise to an intentional tort and a negligence claim. An example could when a child is molested under the supervision of their daycare centre. The person molesting the child has committed an intentional tort; however, the daycare centre could also have been negligent as a result of their duty of care towards the child. An experienced injury law attorney will be able to help you establish which parties have liability, and be able to suggest the best course of action for your Flint injury law case.
