Personal injury cases include many different types of negligence.  Negligence simply means that someone failed to use proper care causing an injury to another person. 

There are many other factors that play a role in determining whether there is a case for negligence and what the value of the case may be including: 

  • How the accident took place
  • Where the accident took place
  • The severity of the injuries sustained
  • How old is the injured person
  • Was the injured person partly to blame for the accident
  • Was the injured person employed
  • Did the injured person suffer loss of wages
  • Was the injured person married
  • Did the accident affect the marriage
  • Did the negligence result in death
  • Did the deceased have a spouse
  • Did the deceased have children
