injury lawsuits law focuses on civil violations that could cause harm to your body mind and emotions. The purpose of an injury lawsuit is to collect money for damages like medical bills, pain and suffering.
It's hard to avoid injuries, but you must be sure to safeguard yourself as much as you can. If you're going to fall forward, turn your head to protect it, and then use your arms.
Negligence
Someone who has suffered injuries or other losses as a result of negligence of another can make a claim for negligence and seek financial compensation. However, the plaintiff must first prove four things to establish their claim: breach of duty causation, damages and breach of duty.
Negligence is when a person fails to act in a way that reasonable people would do in similar circumstances. For instance, a driver must follow traffic laws in order to avoid accidents and injury to other people on the road. A doctor is required to treat patients in the same manner that medical professionals who has the same training would under similar circumstances. A lawyer can utilize expert testimony to prove that the defendant's behavior fell short of the industry standards.
To win a negligence claim the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's failure to perform their duty was the direct cause of their injury. This is called legal causation. A competent personal injury lawyer will claim that the actions of the defendant could have been the sole cause of their injuries.
The plaintiff must prove that their injuries resulted in an unjustifiable financial loss, like medical bills or loss of income. A more serious type negligence is gross negligence, which is an absolute lack of concern for the safety of others. A nursing home that fails to change the patient's bandages over a period of several days is an example of gross negligence. In some states, defendants may use a defense called contributory negligence to stop the plaintiff from claiming damages.
Statute of Limitations
If someone else's negligence or reckless disregard for your safety causes injury to you or suffer injury, the law allows a limited amount of time to make a claim, also known as the statute of limitations. This time frame is determined by the legislature of the state to encourage timely filing and to prevent unreasonable delays.
The time period for filing a claim can vary between states and also from type of injury to type of injury. For instance the case of Pennsylvania personal injury cases, such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to file an action. However, certain claims might be subject to the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitations doesn't begin until the injury is discovered, or could have been reasonably discovered.
In some cases, like those involving intentional torts such as false imprisonment and assaults, as well as defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress, the limitations period is longer. It is also possible for a statute of limitation to be waived or tolled, such as in the case of an individual who is a minor or who is incarcerated or serving on military duty.
If you decide to make a claim after the time limit has expired, your case will be dismissed without being heard. It is therefore important to consult a seasoned injury lawyer prior to when the statute expires.
Damages
Many of the expenses associated with an injury have a price. Special damages include medical expenses out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages and the cost of the repair or replacement of your property, in addition to other fixed sums. The law does not limit the amount of these damages you can recover.
Other losses are harder to quantify, such as suffering and pain, loss in enjoyment of life, and other non-tangible harms. In determining a dollar amount for subjective losses like emotional distress or physical pain can be a challenge but lawyers and insurance companies utilize formulas to measure the amount.
A plaintiff in a whiplash case, for instance could have suffered severe injuries that affect their daily life. They might have to ask for help with household chores, change their diet, and avoid socializing or participating in recreational activities. The victim may experience an absence of pleasure and this is recoverable as general damages.
To estimate the value of a claim for general damages lawyers and insurers usually begin by calculating the total for medical special damages and add on the value of any income loss. They then multiply that number by a number ranging from 1.5 to 5. Higher multipliers are usually associated with more severe injuries.
Liability
In law legal terms, liability refers the party found responsible for harm or injury. This could be due negligence or strict liability. The concept of negligence is the basis of most lawsuits for injuries. Negligence refers to the failure to act with a reasonable amount of care in the context of the situation. The jury determines what an ordinary person in similar circumstances would have done and then decides if defendant's actions or omissions violated this standard. However, some cases are founded on strict liability, such as the case where a defective product causes injuries.
Victims could also be entitled to compensation in addition to the economic damages in the event of non-economic damages such as pain and discomfort. It's difficult to quantify these damages however, our injury lawyers are adept at maximizing the value of your claim.
Certain personal injury lawsuits involve multi-plaintiffs, such as mass torts or class actions. The plaintiffs could be companies, such as an insurance company or a pharmaceutical company or they could be individuals just like you. In these kinds of cases, several parties could be held liable depending on the evidence provided by each plaintiff and on the findings of a thorough investigation.
