A: The person who is generally responsible for a personal injury accident is the individual whose negligence or wrongdoing caused the injury. This can include but not limited to a driver in a car accident, a property owner in a slip and fall accident, an animal owner in a dog bite accident, manufacturer or seller in a product liability accident, or any other party whose actions failed to meet the standard of care and caused the accident and resulting injury. Our legal professionals can help determine who is liable in a specific case by evaluating the facts and circumstances of the accident.
