What Is Injury Law?

Injury law is concerned with civil violations that can harm your mind, body and even your emotions. The goal of a successful injury lawsuit is to recover the financial compensation you deserve for damages such as medical bills, pain and suffering.

It's hard to avoid injuries like this, but it's crucial to take precautions as much as possible. For instance, if are about to fall backwards, try to turn your head to the side and then shield it with your arms.

Negligence

A person who has suffered injuries or other damages as a result of negligence of another can make a claim for negligence and seek financial compensation. The plaintiff must prove four things to establish their claim: breach of duty, breach of duty, causation and damages.

Negligence is the inability to act in a manner that reasonable people would do in similar circumstances. For instance, a driver must obey traffic laws to prevent accidents or harm to other road users. A doctor must treat patients in the same way that medical professionals with the same training would in similar circumstances. A lawyer may also rely on expert testimony to show that the defendant's conduct was below industry norms.

To be successful in a negligence claim, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant's breach of duty was a direct cause of their injury. This is known as legal causation. A good personal injury lawyer will argue that the defendant’s actions were the sole cause of the plaintiff's injuries.

The plaintiff must prove that their injuries have caused a verifiable financial loss, such as 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. A nursing home that fails to change a patient's bandages after a few days is an instance of gross negligence. In certain states, defendants are able to use a defense known as contributory negligence to bar the plaintiff from seeking damages.

Statute of Limitations

When someone else's negligent actions or reckless disregard for your safety causes you to suffer injury in a legal way, the law grants you an period of time to make a claim, also known as the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations, as set by the legislature of the state, is intended to encourage timely filing and to prevent unreasonable delay.

The statute of limitations varies from state to state, and for different types of injuries to the next. 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 make an action. However, certain claims can be subjected to the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitation does not start until the injury is discovered, or at least, should have been discovered.

In some cases, like those involving intentional torts, such as false imprisonment and assaults, as well as defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, the limitation period can be extended. It is also possible for a statute of limitation to be waived or tolled, such as in the instance of an individual who is a minor or who is incarcerated or on military duty.

If you attempt to bring a lawsuit after the deadline for filing a lawsuit has passed your case will be dismissed without being heard. Therefore, it is important to talk to an experienced injury lawyer well before the statute expires.

Damages

A lot of the expenses associated with an injury have costs. Special damages can include medical expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages and the cost of fixing or replacing your property, as well as other fixed costs. The law does not limit the amount of these damages that you can seek.

Other losses are harder to quantify, including suffering and pain, loss in enjoyment of life, and other non-tangible harms. It is difficult to determine a dollar value for subjective losses such as physical or emotional pain can be challenging however, attorneys and insurance companies make use of formulas to try to quantify the amount.

For instance, a plaintiff in a personal-injury case for whiplash may have suffered serious injuries that cause many pains and discomfort to their daily life. They may need help with chores around their home, change their diet and not be able to participate in recreational activities or a social gathering with their family. The victim may experience a loss of enjoyment, which can be recouped as general damages.

To estimate the value for a claim for general damages, lawyers or insurers typically begin by calculating 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. The more severe injuries typically result in more multipliers.

Liability

In law, the word "liability" refers to the person who is found to be liable for an injury or damage. It could be due to strict liability or negligence. Most claims for injuries are based upon the idea of negligence. Negligence is the failure to exercise with reasonable care under the circumstances. Jurors determine what a reasonable person would have done in similar circumstances and determine if the defendant's conduct or inaction violated this standard. However, some cases are built on strict liability, for instance, when a defective product causes injuries.

In addition to damages for economic losses, victims may be entitled to compensation for non-economic damages like suffering and pain. It can be difficult to determine the value of 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 multiple defendants, however, there are some multi-plaintiff suits like class actions or mass torts. These plaintiffs could be corporations such as insurance companies or a pharmaceutical company, or they could be individuals such as you. In these kinds of cases, a variety of parties can be held responsible based on the evidence provided by each plaintiff and on the findings of an investigation.
