What Is Injury Law?
Injury law focuses on civil offenses that cause harm to your body, emotions and mind. The aim of an injury lawsuit is to collect money for damages like medical bills, pain and suffering.
It's difficult to avoid such injuries, but you should ensure that you are protected as much as is possible. For instance, if will fall backwards, injured try to rotate your head and block it by your arms.
Negligence
A person who suffers injuries or other losses as a result of an act of negligence by another person may file a lawsuit for negligence and pursue financial compensation. The plaintiff must first prove four factors to establish their case: breach of duty, breach, causation and damages.
Negligence is defined as the failure to act with the level of care that reasonable people would be expected to exercise in similar circumstances. For instance, a driver must obey traffic laws to avoid accidents and cause harm to others on the road. A doctor is required to provide patients with the same care equivalent to what a similarly trained medical professional would provide in similar circumstances. A lawyer can also use expert testimony to prove that the defendant's conduct was far from the norms of the industry.
In order to win a claim for negligence, the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant's failure to perform their duty was the direct cause for their injury. This is known as legal causation, and a skilled personal injury attorney will argue that the defendant's actions were the sole possible reason for their injuries.
The plaintiff must show that their injuries caused a verifiable financial loss, for example medical bills or loss of income. The most serious type of negligence is gross negligence, injured which entails an unintentional disregard for others' safety. Gross negligence occurs when a nursing facility does not change bandages on patients for a period of time. In certain states, defendants may use a defense known as contributory negligence to block the plaintiff from claiming damage.
Statute of Limitations
If the negligence of someone else or careless disregard for your safety causes you to be injured, the law provides an period of time to start a lawsuit, which is known as the statute of limitations. This limit, set by the state legislature, is meant to encourage timely filing and prevent unreasonable delay.
The statute of limitations varies from states to states and for different types of injuries to the next. In Pennsylvania for instance car accidents can take two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, certain claims can be subjected 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 assaults and false imprisonment and defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, the limitation period is extended. It is also possible for a statute of limitations to be waived or to be tolled, such as in the case of minors or a person who is incarcerated or serving on military duty.
If you decide to bring a lawsuit after the time limit has expired your case will be dismissed without hearing. It is therefore important to consult with an experienced injury lawyer prior to when the statute of limitations expires.
Damages
Many of the expenses that result from an injury come with a price. Special damages include medical costs, cost-out-of-pocket, lost wages and the cost of the repair or replacement of your property, in addition to fixed amounts. The law does limit the amount you can recover in special damages.
Other losses are more difficult to quantify, including suffering and pain as well as loss of enjoyment life, and other non-tangible harms. It is difficult to determine a dollar value for subjective losses such as emotional distress or physical pain can be a challenge but lawyers and insurance companies utilize formulas to attempt to quantify these losses.
A person who is a plaintiff in a whiplash case, for instance might have sustained serious injuries that affect their daily life. They might have to seek assistance with household chores, have a different diet, and not be able to enjoy social or recreational activities. The victim may suffer a loss of enjoyment and this can be recouped as general damages.
To determine the value of a claim for general damages lawyers and insurance companies typically begin by calculating the total for medical special damages. They then add on the value of any income losses. Then, they multiply this number by a number between 1.5 and 5. Higher multipliers are usually associated with more serious injuries.
Liability
In law liability refers to the person found to be responsible for harm or injury. It could be due to negligence or strict liability. The concept of negligence is the basis of most lawsuits involving injuries. Negligence refers to the failure to act in a reasonable manner and with care under the circumstances. Jurors determine what an average person would have done in similar circumstances and decide if the defendant's actions or inaction violated this standard. Some cases involving injuries are solely based on strict liability. For instance, if a defective product is the cause of injuries.
In addition to damages for economic losses, victims could be entitled to compensation for non-economic losses like suffering and pain. It's difficult to quantify these damages however, our injury lawyers are experienced in maximizing the value of your claim.
The majority of personal injury lawsuits involve a single plaintiff versus several defendants but there are some that are multi-plaintiff cases such as class actions and mass torts. These plaintiffs can be companies such as an insurance company or a pharmaceutical firm, or they could be people like you. In these cases, a variety of parties can be held accountable based on the evidence presented by each plaintiff and on 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.
