What Makes Injury Legal?
Legal injury is a term used to define the harm or loss that a person suffers as a result of an other person's negligent or illegal actions. It falls under the tort law.
The most obvious type of injuries is the bodily that includes things like concussion, whiplash and broken bones. It is crucial to seek medical help for these injuries.
Statute of limitations
The law sets a deadline, called the statute of limitations within which an injured party can start a lawsuit. In the event of a delay, it will result in the claim being "time barred" and the victim cannot recover compensation for their losses. The details of the statute of limitations can differ from state to state, and each type of claim has its own particular time frame.
The statute of limitations "clock" typically begins ticking at the point that the accident or incident causing injury lawyers occurs. There are some exceptions to the rule, which can extend the time to file a lawsuit. The discovery rule is an exception. It states that the clock for the statute of limitations doesn't begin until the injury has been discovered or ought to have been discovered. This is often seen in cases involving hidden issues, such as asbestos exposure or certain medical malpractice claims.
Another exception is for minors, who have a year from their 18th birthday when they can initiate litigation even while the statute of limitation usually runs before they reach the age of 19. There is also the "tolling" provision, which extends the limitation period for certain events and situations, such as military service and involuntary mental hospitalization. Then, there's the extension of the statute of limitations for fraud or willful misrepresentation.
Damages
Damages are the compensation paid to the victim of a tort (wrongful act). There are two types of damages - punitive and compensatory. Compensatory damages are intended to compensate plaintiffs and restore them to their fullness after an injury. Punitive damages are used to penalize defendants for fraud, malicious actions that caused harm or gross negligence.
The amount of damages awarded is subjective and based upon the specific circumstances of each case. A personal injury lawyer with experience can help you document the full extent of your losses. This increases your chances of obtaining the maximum amount of compensation possible. For instance your lawyer could use experts as witnesses to prove the severity of your suffering and pain or a psychologist or psychiatrist expert witness to bolster your claim for emotional distress.
To receive the most amount of compensation, you should carefully document your losses now and in the future. Your attorney will assist you in keeping meticulous notes of your expenses and injured financial losses that you incur, and also in calculating the value of future lost income. Experts are often needed to calculate estimates based on the permanent impairment or disability resulting from your injury.
If the defendant does not have enough insurance coverage to cover your claims, you are able to obtain a civil judgment against them personally. But, this is very difficult unless the defendant is a large asset or is a corporation with multiple assets.
Statute of Repose
While statutes of limitations and statutes of repose both restrict the time a plaintiff must wait to file a lawsuit There are a few notable differences between the two. Statutes are procedural, forward-looking and substantive.
A statute of repose, in short is a law that specifies a timeframe when legal action can be not allowed - without the limitations that a statute limitations. It's common for a statute of repose to be applied to construction defect cases, product liability lawsuits as well as medical malpractice claims.
The main difference is that, while a statute of limitations typically runs when the plaintiff is injured or learns of their loss the statute of repose generally begins to run when an event triggers it. This is a concern in product liability cases. It could take several years before a plaintiff buys and utilizes a product and the company is aware of any issues.
Due to these variations, it is important that victims of injury consult an attorney before the statutes that apply to them expire. Michael Ksiazek, a partner at Stark and Stark's Yardley office, focuses on Accident & Injury Law. Contact him for a free consultation.
Duty of Care
A duty of care is the obligation one owes to others to use reasonable caution when performing activities that could cause harm. If someone fails to fulfill a duty of care and someone is injured as a result, this is considered negligence. A person or company has an obligation to care for the public in many situations. This includes doctors who are preparing tax returns, accountants who prepare tax returns, and store owners clearing snow off the sidewalks so that people do not fall and hurt themselves.
To be able to claim damages in a case of tort it is necessary to show that the person who injured you was owed an obligation of care, and that they violated their duty of care, and that their negligence was the direct and injured proximate cause of your injury. The standard of care is usually established by what other professionals would do in similar situations. If a surgeon performs surgery in the wrong leg this could be considered an infraction of duty because other surgeons would follow the chart in similar circumstances.
It is crucial to remember, too, that the standard of care must not be enough to impose the same liability to all parties. In jury trials, as well as in bench trials, the balance is carefully evaluated by juries as well as judges.
