Common Causes and Risk Factors of General Liability Personal Injuries
Any situation where a negligent party caused you to be injured could become the basis for a general liability personal injury lawsuit.
Some common examples of general liability personal injury incidents include:
- Car accidents
- Bus or truck accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Slip and falls
- Premises liability accidents
- Dog bites
- Construction accidents
- Burn injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Product liability
- Medical malpractice
- And more
If you believe another party was responsible, you may want to contact a personal injury law firm for a free consultation on your case.
Identifying the party liable for your injuries is an important first step in a personal injury case–the next step involves building a case that demonstrates their negligence for your injuries.
In order to recover damages for your injuries, losses, and other expenses, you may need to prove the following:
- The defendant owed you or your loved one a duty of care.
- The defendant was negligent—either through their actions or by failing to act in a way that protected you from harm.
- The defendant’s negligence caused your injuries.
- You or your family sustained damages due to the defendant’s negligence.
If you hire a personal injury lawyer to represent you, they will gather evidence to help prove the defendant’s negligence.
Every state has certain time limits, called "statutes of limitations," that govern the period during which you must file a personal injury lawsuit.
In some states, for example, you may have as little as one year to file a lawsuit from an automobile accident.
If you miss the statutory deadline for filing a case, your case is thrown out of court.

What to Do If You Suffer General Liability Personal Injuries
An average of 400,000 personal injury cases go to court each year in the US–but the number of people injured in accidents that weren’t their fault is believed to be much higher.
What Should I Do First?
- Get Medical Attention. Before you do anything else, you need to focus on getting yourself the medical attention you need. When you are getting medical treatment, make sure that you have copies made for you of all your treatments and treatment notes. You may use these to strengthen your case later down the line.
- Contact An Attorney. When you begin to do research into hiring an attorney, you will notice that you have a lot of choices. There will be attorneys that work for an established firm, there will be small groups of attorneys who specialize in personal injury law or lone attorneys.
- Record Your Accident. We mentioned above that you will need to put together a record of your accident to help your attorney build their case:
- When the accident happened
- The form the accident took
- Where the accident happened
- The situation and circumstances surrounding the accident
- Anyone else who was involved in the accident
- Anyone who did or could have witnessed the accident
- Names of any emergency service members who were involved
- Any treatment you received immediately after the accident
- Take Photos and Gather Evidence. We recommend that you start by collecting all the visual evidence that you may. By this, we mean photos and any CCTV camera footage that you may get your hands on.
- Record Financial Losses. You will want to gather your financial reports from the last few years. Then you will need to use this information to show how much money you have lost because of the accident. You should talk about money that you have lost from your job and any other side hustles or businesses that you have.
- Do Not Admit Fault. If an employer is found to be at fault for an accident then not only will they have to pay compensation to the person who was injured but they will also have to spend a lot of money to make sure that it doesn’t happen again – this will affect their profits and might even affect their share prices.
How Do I File a Medical Malpractice Claim?
If you have been involved in an accident then you will probably find yourself very driven to get justice for yourself. Before you enter the legal process it is worth talking to your legal team about how long it will take to get your compensation.
In the US, it may take anywhere between 2 months and 3 years for a personal injury claim to be settled.
However, you should also know the process has been created to help people like you get justice for what happened to them. It may take a while, but sit back and trust the process.
The steps to file a personal injury lawsuit include:
- Inform insurance companies of the accident. You should notify your own insurance company of an auto accident, even if you will not be filing a claim with it.
- Investigate your accident and file the claim.
- Negotiate a settlement.
- File a lawsuit and go to trial.
