Negligence is the inability to act in a manner that an ordinary person would in similar circumstances. For example, a driver should obey traffic laws to prevent accidents and harm to others on the road. A doctor is required to provide patients with the care similar to that a similarly trained medical professional would provide in similar circumstances. A lawyer can also use experts to prove that the defendant's behavior was below industry norms.
In order to win a negligence case, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's breach was the direct cause of the injury. This is known as legal causation, and a competent personal injury lawyer will claim that the actions of the defendant were the only possible reason for their injuries.
The plaintiff must show that their injuries have caused tangible financial loss, such as medical bills and lost income. Gross negligence is a more serious form of negligence because it entails an unintentional disregard for the safety of others. A nursing home that isn't able to change a patient's bandages for a period of time is an example of gross negligence. In certain states, defendants can rely on a defense called contributory negligence, which can prevent the plaintiff from claiming damages.
Statute of limitations
The statute of limitations is the time period that you must make a claim if negligence or reckless disregard of your safety causes harm. This time limit, set by the legislature of the state, is intended to encourage speedy filing and prevent unreasonable delay.

For instance in Pennsylvania personal injuries, such as car accidents, you typically have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim. However, certain claims can be subjected to the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitation does not begin until the injury is discovered, or at least, should have been discovered.
In some instances, like those involving intentional torts, such as assaults and false imprisonment and defamation and intentional infliction emotional distress, the limitation period is longer. It is also possible for a statute of limitations to be tolled or waived, such as in the case of an individual who is a minor or who is incarcerated or on military duty.
If you attempt to file a lawsuit after the statute of limitation has expired, your lawsuit could be dismissed without hearing. This is why it's crucial to consult an experienced injury lawyer before the statute of limitations expires.
Damages
Many of the costs associated with an injury come with a price tag. These are referred to as special damages and may include medical expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, the cost to repair or replace your property, and other fixed amounts. The law does not limit the amount of these damages you are able to recover.

They may have to seek help with chores around the home, change their diet and avoid recreational activities or socializing with family. The victim may suffer an impairment in enjoyment and this is a redressable loss as general damages.
To determine the value of a claim for general damages, lawyers and insurers typically begin by calculating the total for medical special damages, and then add on the value of any income loss. They then multiply this by a number between 1.5 and 5. The more severe injuries typically result in higher multipliers.
