What Is Injury Law?

The law of injury is focused on civil violations that could cause damage to your body, the mind and your emotions. The goal of a successful lawsuit is to obtain compensation for damages, such as medical bills, pain and discomfort.

It's hard to avoid injuries like this, but it's important to be as safe as possible. For instance, if you are going to fall backwards, rotate your head and block it with your arms.

Negligence

Anyone who suffers injuries or other losses due to an act of negligence by another person may file a lawsuit for negligence and pursue financial compensation. However, the claimant must first prove four elements to prove their claim: breach of duty, breach, causation and damages.

Negligence is defined as a person's inability to behave with the level of care that reasonable prudent people would have in similar circumstances. For instance, a driver should follow traffic laws to prevent accidents or harm to other road users. A doctor is required to treat patients in the same way that an individual with similar training would do under similar circumstances. Lawyers may also rely on expert testimony to demonstrate that the defendant's behavior was far from the norms of the industry.

To win a negligence case the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's breach was the main cause of the injury. This is referred to as legal causation. A good personal injury attorney will argue that the defendant's actions could have been the sole cause of their injuries.

The plaintiff must prove that their injuries caused an actual financial loss, like medical bills and loss of income. The most serious type of negligence is gross negligence, which is an absolute lack of concern for others' safety. Gross negligence occurs when a nursing house does not change bandages on a patient for several days. In some states, defendants can rely on a defense called contributory negligence, which can prevent the plaintiff from seeking damages.

Statute of limitations

The statute of limitations is the amount of time in which you are required to submit a claim when someone else's negligence or reckless disregard of your safety causes harm. This limit is set by the state legislature to ensure timely filing and avoid unreasonable delays.

The statute of limitation varies from state to state and also depending on the type of injury and kind of injury. For instance, in Pennsylvania personal injury cases such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to make claims. However, some claims may be subject to what is known as the discovery rule, meaning that the statute of limitations will not start until your injury is discovered or should have been discovered.

In certain cases, such as those involving intentional torts such as assaults and false imprisonment and defamation and intentional infliction emotional distress, the limitation period is extended. It is also possible for a statute of limitation to be waived or tolled, for instance, in the case of minors or a person who is incarcerated or on military duty.

If you try to file a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired, your lawsuit could be dismissed without hearing. This is why it's crucial to consult an experienced injury attorney well before the time when the statute of limitations expires.

Damages

Many costs related to an injury come with the price tag. Special damages can include medical expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, lost earnings 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 are able to recover.

Other losses are hard to quantify, like pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible harms. The process of putting a dollar value on the subjective loss of physical or emotional pain can be difficult but attorneys and insurance companies use formulas to measure them.

For instance, a defendant in a personal injury suit for whiplash could have sustained serious injuries that cause a lot of pain and a lot of difficulty in their day-to-day lives. They may require help with chores around their home, eat differently, and not be able to participate in recreational events or gatherings with friends. The victim could experience an impairment in enjoyment and this can be recouped as general damages.

To determine the value of the claim of 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 by a figure between 1.5 and 5. More severe injuries usually result in greater multipliers.

Liability

In law, the term liability refers to a party who is held accountable for an injury or harm. It could be due to negligence or strict liability. Most lawsuits involving injuries are based on the concept of negligence. Negligence is the failure to exercise with reasonable care in the circumstances. Jurors evaluate what an average person would have done in similar circumstances, and then determine whether the defendant's action or inaction violated the standard. Certain injury cases are based solely on strict liability. For instance, when defective products are the cause of injuries.

In addition to damages for economic losses, victims may be entitled to compensation for non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. It's hard to estimate these damages however, our injury attorneys are skilled in maximizing your claim's value.

The majority of personal injury lawsuits involve a single plaintiff against a number of defendants, but some are multi-plaintiff suits such as class actions and mass torts. These plaintiffs can be companies such as insurance companies or a pharmaceutical firm, or they could be individuals like you. In these situations, several parties could be held accountable according to the evidence presented by each plaintiff as well as the results of an investigation.
