What Is Injury Law?
Injury law is concerned with civil wrongs which can cause harm to your body, mind and emotions. The aim of an injury lawsuit is to obtain the financial compensation you deserve for damages such as medical bills and pain and suffering.
It's hard to avoid injuries, but it's important to ensure that you are protected as much as is possible. For instance, if you are likely to fall backwards, make sure to turn your head to the side and then shield it with your arms.
Negligence
Someone who suffers injury or other losses due to an act of negligence by another person may file a negligence lawsuit and pursue financial compensation. However, the claimant must prove four things to prove their case: breach of duty, breach of duty, causation and damages.
Negligence refers to the failure to act in a manner that an ordinary person would under similar circumstances. A driver, for instance should follow traffic laws to avoid accidents or harm to other road users. A doctor is required to treat patients in the same manner that a medical professional with similar training would do in similar circumstances. Lawyers can use expert testimony to prove that the defendant's conduct was short of the industry standards.
To win a negligence claim, the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant's failure to perform their duty was the direct cause of their injury. This is referred to as legal causation, and a competent personal injury lawyer will argue that the actions of the defendant were the sole possible cause of their injuries.
The plaintiff has to prove that their injuries caused an identifiable financial loss, like medical bills or loss of income. Gross negligence is the most serious form of negligence since it is a complete disregard for the safety of others. A nursing home that isn't able to change a patient's bandages over a period of several days is an instance of gross negligence. In certain states, defendants can use a defense referred to as contributory negligence to stop the plaintiff from claiming damages.
Statute of limitations
The statute of limitations is the amount of time in which you are required to file a claim if someone is negligent or careless of your safety causes you harm. This time limit is determined by the legislature of the state to encourage timely filing and to prevent unreasonable delays.
The time limit for filing a claim varies from one state to another and also depending on the type of injury and kind of injury. In Pennsylvania for instance, car accidents can take two years to file a personal injury claim. However, certain claims could be subject to what is called the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitations does not begin until the injury has been discovered or ought to have been discovered.
In some instances, like cases involving intentional torts such as false imprisonment and assaults, as well as defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, the limitations period is extended. A statute of limitations can also be waived or tolled in specific cases, such as when a minor is involved or the person is on military duty or in a prison.
If you decide to file a suit after the statute of limitations has been reached, your case may be dismissed without hearing. This is why it's important to speak with an experienced injury lawyer before the time when the statute of limitations runs out.
Damages
A lot of the expenses that result from an injury come with costs. These are referred to as special damages and can include medical expenses, out of pocket costs, lost wages, the cost of repairing or replace your property, and other fixed sums. The law limits the amount you can recover in special damages.
Other losses don't have any price and can be difficult to calculate like the pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment in life and other intangible damages. It can be difficult to determine a dollar value on subjective losses such as physical or emotional pain however insurance companies and attorneys use formulas to quantify their losses.
For example, a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit for whiplash could have sustained serious injuries that cause a lot of pain and stress to their daily lives. They may have to seek help with household chores, eat differently, and miss out socializing or engaging in recreational activities. The victim may suffer a loss of enjoyment and can recover this as general damages.
To estimate the value for an action for general damages, lawyers or insurance companies usually start by calculating the total of medical special damages. They then add the value of any lost income. They then multiply this number by a value ranging from 1.5 to 5. More powerful multipliers are typically associated with more serious injuries.
Liability
In law liability refers to the person who is accountable for harm or injury. This could be due to negligence or strict liability. The majority of lawsuits involving injuries are based on the notion of negligence. Negligence means that you have failed to act with a reasonable level of care under the circumstances. Jurors evaluate what a reasonable person would have done in similar circumstances and then decide if the defendant's act or inaction broke this standard. Certain injury cases are based solely on strict liability. For example, when defective products are the cause of injury.
Victims could also be entitled to compensation in addition to damages for economic loss, for non-economic losses like discomfort and pain. The amount of these damages is hard to estimate, but our experienced injury lawyers are adept at maximizing the value of your claim.
The majority of personal injury lawsuits involve a single plaintiff against several defendants, however, there are some multi-plaintiff suits such as class actions and mass torts. One or more plaintiffs could be an entity like a pharmaceutical company or an insurance company, or it could be another person who is similar to you. In these cases, multiple parties may be held responsible depending on the evidence provided by each plaintiff and the findings of an investigation. If you were injured by someone else's negligence, or wrongdoing and you are injured, call us immediately to discuss your case.
