What Is Negligence in a Personal Injury Case?

Negligence in a personal injury case refers to the failure of an individual or entity to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm or injury to another person. In legal terms, negligence is a key element that must be proven for a plaintiff to succeed in a personal injury lawsuit in Greenville.

To establish negligence, the plaintiff typically must prove four elements:

Duty of Care: The defendant owed a legal duty of care to the plaintiff. This duty arises when the law recognizes a relationship between the defendant and the plaintiff that obligates the defendant to act with a certain level of care. For example, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely to avoid harming others on the road.
Breach of Duty: The defendant breached this duty by failing to act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. This breach could involve actions (like running a red light) or omissions (such as failing to repair a hazardous condition).
Causation: The plaintiff must show that the defendant's breach of duty directly caused the injury. This is often divided into two sub-elements: actual cause (or "cause in fact") and proximate cause. Actual cause means that the injury would not have occurred "but for" the defendant's actions, while proximate cause means the injury was a foreseeable result of the breach.
Damages: The plaintiff must have suffered actual harm or loss as a result of the defendant's negligence. This could include physical injuries, emotional distress, medical expenses, lost wages, or other forms of harm.

If these elements are proven, the defendant may be held liable for the plaintiff's injuries, and the plaintiff may be entitled to compensation. Negligence is the foundation of many personal injury cases, including car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, and more.

Types of Compensation in a Personal Injury Case

What could your personal injury case be worth? That will depend on the types of injuries and losses you have sustained, as well as whether the at-fault party's actions were worse than negligent, but were in fact malicious or willful. In cases of fraud or malice, for example, punitive damages may be awarded to plaintiff in addition to standard types of compensation. For most other cases, however, there would simply be the economic and non-economic damages.

Some examples of the economic (or compensatory) damages you could recover in a personal injury lawsuit include:

Health costs, such as hospital bills, surgery expenses, medication costs, etc.
Physical therapy and rehabilitation expenses
Missed income, including future losses, e.g. a loss of earning capacity
Costs of medical devices, like prosthetics or wheelchairs
Costs for adding ramps or lifts in your home

Whatever specific losses you've suffered that count as economic damages, you can also seek non-economic damages. While these can be harder to quantify, a skilled personal injury lawyer can fight to make sure that the final settlement you receive includes ample compensation for what you have suffered.

These non-economic damages in a personal injury case can include:

Pain and suffering
Mental and emotional anguish
Disfigurement and/or scarring
Loss of consortium
Loss of enjoyment of life

Whether your injuries prevent you from engaging in the sports or hobbies that you used to enjoy, or they prevent you from returning to the same job as before, these are losses that you deserve to be compensated for. This is why your choice of personal injury lawyer is pivotal. Not only does it take a skilled legal advocate to make sure that you win your case, but you also need an attorney who can make sure that you're awarded a fair amount for everything you've gone through.

Finding the Right Personal Injury Lawyer in Greenville

No matter how severe the injury, suffering harm due to another's reckless decisions is something that no one should ever have to endure.

"20 out of 10 stars."
There are times in your life you are so hurt and feel life has a grudge against you. Nothing in your life is going right. I lost the most important person in my life to death, of which I knew mistakes were made because I witnessed it with my own eyes. When you contact a law group you most of the time get all business and a matter of fact conversation. I want all to know that from the first phone call they listened to my lengthy story, sobbing most of the time with so much compassion. They never made any promises but offered assurances that no stone would be unturned. They fulfilled every word they said. They restored faith that I had lost. Until you are in a position like mine you can never know how invaluable Lanier Law Group is. They were wonderful while maintaining their professionalism. They treated me like a family member. They really do care about their clients. But most of all they are the best at what they do. I worked in the court system for years so I knew how attorneys and law firms basically operated. Understanding the law and it's interpretation is the ultimate key to winning any case. Also know that if an attorney/attorneys study and review your case and know that you don't have a chance in a court of law and are big enough to tell you that instead of giving you false hope, you then my friend have a group with valuable shared values. I have so much respect for everyone in this Law Group. I recommend Lanier Law Group, P.A. to anyone who needs representation, they are in your corner. 20 out of 10 stars.

"Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members"
I started working with Lanier Law Group in 2020 on my Social Security Disability case. They from start to finish were awesome. My case manager Janet Hanks and attorney, Ashley Sappenfield were always available to answer all my questions. I did not have to do much but sit back and let them handle whatever was needed. My case took too long (2 years) and if I did not have Janet and Ashley My case would still not be approved. I would recommend Lanier to anyone to get the job done and approved. Do not go to another firm with your case, who promise the world and do not see it to completion and do not think another firms would have worked as hard as they did on my case. Lanier Law Group will always be the choice for me and all my family members to handle any cases of this type and other legal services they provide. They went above and beyond!

"So thankful for your expertise and professionalism"
Mrs. Gonzalez did an awesome job of explaining everything in detail and keeping me informed on the status of my case. Despite poor customer service with the insurance company, Mrs. Gonzalez was able to fix what they could not. Mrs. Gonzalez was very helpful with helping me understand things that I was not aware of when dealing with insurance claims. I am so thankful for her expertise and professionalism.
