Injuries happen every day in Queens, New York. While some injuries are a part of life, this doesn’t apply to ones caused by someone else’s reckless or negligent actions. These injuries are often preventable, and you shouldn’t be the one to suffer simply because someone doesn’t care about how their behavior can affect others. Everyone has a duty of care to help prevent injuries from accidents or incidents from occurring.
An example of a breach of duty of care is when a healthcare provider fails to provide adequate care to a patient. The lack of care leads to an illness worsening, injuries, or even a fatality. If another healthcare professional can provide proper care under similar circumstances, the original healthcare provider may have failed to meet a recognized standard of care, which can also mean they acted negligently. Another example is if a driver is intoxicated and causes a vehicle accident, resulting in injury or death. The driver acted negligently the moment they got behind the wheel.
In situations like these and other similar ones, you, as either the injured party or the family of the victim, may be able to file a claim to recover compensation for any injuries, property damage, or other losses sustained in the accident.
