When another's action—or inaction—causes you harm

A personal injury is an injury caused by another person or party's negligence or intentionally wrongful action, or in the case of defective products, strict liability. 

Most personal injury cases fall under the umbrella of negligence.  Proving a defendant's negligence in an injury case requires four factors:

• The defendant owed you a standard of care.
• The defendant did not provide that basic care.
• This breach of care caused you injury.
• You suffered an injury.

If all four aspects of negligence are present, you may have the right to sue for compensation for your injuries and property damage.  The Law Office of Wendy Doyle, PA, with offices in Saint Petersburg and Tampa, has a thorough understanding of personal injury law and has assisted injury victims in many areas of personal injury, including—

Aquatic injuries

Saint Petersburg is home to some of Florida's finest beaches.  The water draws crowds for amusement, income, and exercise.  Unfortunately amid fun in the sun, injuries may occur—Florida has the highest rate of boating injuries in the country.  Accidents involving boats, jet skis, and other water sport equipment can result in grave injuries and even death.

The most common types of aquatic injuries are vessel collisions with other watercrafts or fixed objects.  Often these accidents are caused by reckless operation of a boat or jet ski, alcohol use, hazardous conditions, and driver inexperience or error.  Boating law requires safe, licensed operation of watercraft, and the operator therefore owes you a duty of care. Breach of that duty is grounds for legal action.
