Personal injury is an area of the law designed to protect those who have been harmed by the negligence, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction of others.  If you or a loved one has a claim for a personal injury, you can file a claim for damages, such as physical injury, emotional injury, property damages, compensation for loss of income, pain and suffering, permanent disability, and other resulting injuries.  If you are considering filing a personal injury claim, then you need to immediately speak with a West Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer JOHN H. BRYAN.

To understand whether you have a valid personal injury claim, you must look at several factors.  You must first demonstrate that the person charged truly bears legal responsibility for your personal injury and that the damages claimed truly reflect the extent of the injury or loss.  In other words, you must be able to establish liability and damages.  This can be established by showing either negligence, strict liability, or intentional wrongs by the other party.  

In negligence, you accuse the defendant of causing your injury by failing to prevent it.  Under strict liability, manufacturers who market defective products that, when used correctly, cause injury, liability automatically attaches, regardless of whether there was negligence.  In instances of intentional wrongs, both civil and criminal actions may be filed, such as instances of domestic battery or sexual abuse.

There are many types of personal injury cases.  The following are typical examples:

Slip and fall injury: when someone injures himself on another person's property, the owner of the property can be held liable for his injuries.

Nursing home abuse: also known as nursing home neglect, nursing home abuse occurs when a resident of a nursing home is subject to physical abuse, mental abuse, or abandonment. 

Car accident: auto accidents, as well as truck and motorcycle accidents, can result in serious personal injury to those involved in the collision.

Defective product injury: defective products, including drug and medical devices, can cause serious personal injury to patients.

Exposure to toxic material: toxic materials used in the workplace and those that leach into the environment through groundwater contamination and other methods are often the cause of personal injury claims.

Medical malpractice: medical negligence, hospital malpractice, and doctor mistakes are often the subject of personal injury claims.

Wrongful death: when someone is killed as a result of another's negligent actions, the family of the deceased often has grounds for a wrongful death claim.

Drug injury: defective drugs and those with serious side effects that are the subject of a drug recall can cause personal injuries.

Job injury: construction accidents, industrial accidents, and other on-the-job accidents often result in personal injuries.

Dog bite case: owners of dogs that injure another person can often be held liable for any personal injury the victim may sustain.
