Personal injury accidents occur when one party inflicts injury on another party either directly or indirectly. For the incident to be legally recognized as a personal injury accident, however, one must owe the other a duty of care. Car accidents qualify as personal injury accidents because all licensed drivers have the responsibility to operate their vehicles reasonably and safely. Another common duty of care is the one property owners have to welcomed visitors. If a patron slips and falls on a wet floor or trips over uneven flooring, the individual can file a personal injury lawsuit against the property owner.
