If you have been injured, it’s important to take immediate steps to protect yourself. At Marlis Park, we can advise you on the right course of action and determine whether you are eligible to receive compensation for your injuries.

Personal injury claims fall into the following categories:

– The first and most common is negligence. This occurs when someone causes you personal injury because they were careless, or negligent, meaning that they failed to act as a reasonable person. Some types of negligence are negligent driving, negligent medical care, and negligent maintenance of a property.

– The second is intentional wrongdoing. This occurs when there is a deliberate action against a person or property that causes damage – whereas, a negligence tort is the result of an accident. The law can hold someone liable for injuries whether the person responsible intended to cause harm or not.

– A third and less common category of injury is strict liability. This is when a person or company is engaging in dangerous or risky behavior, or when an animal bites you. Strict liability also comes into play if injury occurs as a result of a faulty product.
