Negligence, Intentional Tort, and Strict Liabilities

  1. Negligence-Negligent conduct is that which is a departure from that degree of care that society considers reasonable under the circumstances. Example: A driver who causes an accident because he or she was texting can be found to be negligent and responsible to pay damages caused by that accident.
  2. Intentional Tort-Intentional torts are those wrongful acts that are done for the purpose of causing harm to another or with gross disregard for whether or not the act will cause harm. Example: One person deliberately punches another causing an injury.
  3. Strict Liability-This is usually created by a specific law and does not require proof of negligence or intent to harm. Rather, if injuries are caused by regulated activities, then any damages caused by that conduct are recoverable. Example: The laws of most states hold the owner of a dog with vicious propensities automatically responsible if the dog bites someone. Should I Consult a Vermont Personal Injury Lawyer?

Should I Consult a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you have been injured in any kind of accident or negligent act you have much to gain and nothing to lose by immediately consulting an experienced Vermont personal injury lawyer. Rarely is bringing a claim simple.  Most personal injury attorneys do not charge for an initial consultation so it makes sense to take advantage of this fact.  A lot is at stake for you.  Your thought process may be clouded by events and those around you who offer advice.  When you are in pain, worrying about medical care and resulting bills, it is easy to become overwhelmed.  An attempt by insurance companies to quickly settle your claim should be a red flag.  Often injuries take time to become fully symptomatic and may take longer to heal than anticipated.  An experienced personal injury lawyer can help you understand why the amount the insurance company offered is nowhere near the value of the case and how settling the case prematurely could have a negative impact on your life later.

If you have been injured in any of these situations, even if you do not know if your injuries are going to be significant, it is important that you protect yourself by immediately consulting with an experienced and skilled personal injury attorney.
