What Is Injury Law?

The law of injury is focused on civil offenses that cause damage to your body, mind and emotions. The goal of a successful lawsuit is to get money for damages such as medical bills, discomfort and pain.

It's hard to avoid injuries such as this, but it's crucial to be as safe as possible. If you're likely to fall forward, you should turn your head to protect it, and injured then use your arms.

Negligence

Someone who suffers injury or other losses as a result of another's negligent actions can file a negligence suit and seek financial compensation. To prove their case the claimant will need to establish four elements such as breach of duty, causation and damages.

Negligence refers to the failure to act in a manner that reasonable people would act in similar circumstances. A driver, for example, should obey traffic laws to prevent injuries or accidents to other road users. A doctor must treat patients in the same way that an individual with similar training would under similar circumstances. Lawyers can also use expert testimony to prove that the defendant's behavior was short of the standards set by industry.

In order to win a negligence case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's negligence was the primary cause of the injury. This is known as legal causation. A good personal injury lawsuit lawyer will argue that the defendant’s actions were the sole reason for the plaintiff's injuries.

The plaintiff must prove that their injuries have caused real financial losses for example, lost income and medical bills. Gross negligence is the most serious type of negligence since it is reckless disregard for the safety of others. A nursing home that fails to change a patient's bandages after a few days is an example of gross negligence. In some states, defendants may use a defense known as contributory negligence to prevent the plaintiff from claiming damages.

Statute of Limitations

If the negligence of someone else or careless disregard for your safety leads you to be injured in a legal way, the law grants you the victim with a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit, called the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations is determined by the legislature of the state to ensure timely filing and avoid unreasonable delays.

The time frame for filing a claim is different from state to state, and depending on the type of injury to the next. For instance in Pennsylvania personal injury cases such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to submit claims. However, certain claims could be subject to what's called the discovery rule. This means that the time limit for filing a claim does not begin until your injury is discovered or should reasonably have been discovered.

In certain circumstances, such as those involving intentional torts such as assaults and false imprisonment as well as defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress, the limitation period is extended. A statute of limitation can be extended or waived in certain cases, injured such as when a minor is involved or the person is serving in the military or in a prison.

If you decide to make a claim after the time limit has expired your case will be dismissed without being heard. This is why it's essential to consult an experienced injury lawyer before the statute of limitations expires.

Damages

Many expenses associated with injuries come with a price tag. Special damages can include medical expenses, cost-out-of-pocket, lost wages and the cost of repairing or replacing your property, in addition to fixed sums. The law does not limit the amount of specific damages you are able to recover.

Other losses don't have an associated price and may be difficult to quantify like suffering and pain, loss of enjoyment of life and other tangible damages. It isn't easy to assign a value for subjective losses like physical or emotional pain but insurance companies and attorneys use formulas to quantify the amount of these losses.

A person who is a plaintiff in a whiplash case, for instance could have suffered severe injuries that affect their daily life. They might be required to seek help with household chores, change their diet, and avoid socializing or enjoying leisure activities. The victim could experience a loss of enjoyment and this is recoverable as general damages.

To estimate the value of general damages claims lawyers and insurance companies typically begin by calculating the amount for medical special damages. They then add on the value of any income loss. They will then multiply this amount by a number that ranges from 1.5 to 5. The higher multipliers are generally associated with more severe injuries.

Liability

In law, the term "liability" refers to a party who is held liable for an injury or damage. This could be due negligence or strict liability. The concept of negligence is the basis for most lawsuits involving injuries. Negligence is the inability to act with reasonable care under the circumstances. Jurors consider what an average person would have done in similar circumstances and determine whether the defendant's action or inaction violated the standard. However, some cases are determined by strict liability, like when a defective product causes injuries.

Victims could also be entitled to compensation, in addition to the economic damages for non-economic losses, like discomfort and pain. It is difficult to value these damages, but our injury lawyers are skilled in maximizing the value of your claim.

Some personal injury lawsuits involve multi-plaintiffs that include class actions or mass torts. One or more of these plaintiffs could be a corporation like a pharmaceutical company or an insurance company or it could be another person who is similar to you. In these cases, multiple parties could be held accountable based on the evidence submitted by each plaintiff and results of an investigation.
