General Negligence

General Negligence is the basis of all personal injury causes of action. The term is defined as a general failure to act as a reasonable person would under the same circumstances. For the purposes of a personal injury claim, a person is negligent when they cause an injury to another person due to their own unintentional actions.

To prove a cause of action for negligence, you need to prove each of the four elements of the tort. These elements are:

1. Duty,

2. Breach,

3. Causation, and

4. Damages

So, using an automobile accident as an example, you need to prove that the driver who caused the crash had:

* a duty to operate their vehicle properly,

* that they breached that duty by driving improperly,

* that the breach of the duty by the offending driver caused the accident,

* and that you were damaged by the accident, in the form of injuries

Drowning Injury Claims

Drowning happens when a person is submerged in water for a period of time. Lack of oxygen is what injures or kills a person in drowning incidents. If a person loses oxygen, that person loses consciousness and consequently dies. This is called wet drowning which is the common form of drowning.

There is another form of drowning which is dry drowning. Dry drowning, on the other hand, occurs when a person is submerged in icy water. The cold is said to cause the larynx to spasm. If the larynx spasms, the person’s airway is cut off resulting in lack or absence of oxygen in the body.

If you or any of your family member suffered from near drowning or drowns as a result of negligence by another person, our expert Drowning Injury Claims lawyers can help you claim just and reasonable damages for you or your family member.

Drowning Injury Claims lawyers of the Mesriani Law Group are knowledgeable in all types of drowning. They are well equipped to handle the intricacies of proving negligence as well as gathering vital evidence necessary for your claims.

Groin Injury

Living in a highly populated and economically busy city in the U.S like in Los Angeles, California creates quite a high risk and probability that you can encounter an accident that may bring you a groin injury. Since your groin is a sensitive part of your body that is found between your lower abdomen and the inner part of your thigh, a slight bump or strike on it may trigger much devastating effects on you. These may range from partial to full paralysis of either or both the upper and lower part of your body. Hence, this kind of impairment can affect the major aspects of your life – physical, mental, emotional and even financial.

However, the victims may depend on the existing laws to get hold of justice and recover monetary damages. This is, if they can prove that their suffering is brought about by the other parties’ neglectful acts. But then again, many of the plaintiffs find it complicated to file their groin injury claims against the culprit. This is because most of the insurance companies have designed their own tactics to frustrate the victims in pursuing their cases. As a result, a number of them have decided to withdraw their claims or just settle for much less payments.

Our groin injury lawyers at the Mesriani Law Group have the capacity to outwit those unruly insurance companies.

Legal Element of Hip Injury Claims

Generally, the following causes may entitle the victims to recover damages:

* vehicle accidents

* medical malpractice

* slip and fall

* construction accidents

Nevertheless, the victims must first establish these elements to obtain remunerations:

* The defendant has been negligent with his dealings.

* The defendant’s negligence has been the proximate cause of the injury-causing incident.

* The plaintiff victims have suffered injuries and/or damages from the incident

* The plaintiff has not exercised anything that has increased the potentials of the incident or injury
