Personal injury law focuses on the damages caused by negligence in relation to a duty of care owed. While every personal injury claim is unique to the situation at hand, the basics remain constant across all personal injury claims. If you’ve been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, seeking the professional legal guidance you need from an experienced Dayton personal injury attorney is in your best interest.

Failure to live up to this responsibility can lead to serious accidents that cause serious injuries.
