Personal Injury
Overview:
The phrase “personal injury” is used chiefly in connection with actions based in tort for negligence. In the State of Indiana, the tort of negligence is comprised of three (3) elements:
(1) A duty on the part of the defendant in relation to the plaintiff;
(2) A failure by the defendant to conform its conduct to the requisite standard of care; and
(3) An injury to the plaintiff proximately caused by the failure.
Miller v. Griesel, 308 N.E.2d 701, 706 (Ind. 1974). Negligence cases usually deal with someone doing something that they should not have done, or failing to do something that they should have done for the benefit of another. Automobile accident, trucking accidents, explosions, burns, electrocution, failure to provide supervision or security, over service alcohol and boating accidents are examples of situations in which a negligence cause of action may arise due to the actions of a third party.
