What Is Injury Law?

The law of injury deals with civil wrongs which can harm your mind, body as well as your feelings. The goal of a successful injury lawsuit is to obtain an amount of money to compensate for damages, such as medical bills, suffering and pain.

It's not easy to avoid injuries like this, however it is important to be as safe as you can. For example, if you are going to fall backwards, make sure to rotate your head and block it by your arms.

Negligence

A person who suffers injuries or other losses as a result of the negligence of another can file a negligence suit and seek financial compensation. To prove their case, the plaintiff must establish four elements that are: breach of duty, causation and damages.

Negligence is the inability to behave in a manner that a reasonable person would do under similar circumstances. For example, a motorist must obey traffic laws in order to avoid injuries and accidents to others on the road. Doctors have a responsibility to provide patients with the kind of care similar to that a similarly trained medical professional would provide in similar circumstances. A lawyer can also use expert testimony to show that the defendant's conduct fell below industry norms.

To prevail in a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff must show that the breach of the defendant was the sole cause of the injury. This is known as legal causation. A reputable 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 resulted in an identifiable financial loss, for example medical bills or lost income. A more serious form of negligence is gross negligence, which entails the complete lack of concern for the safety of others. A nursing home that isn't able to change a patient's bandages after a few days is an example of gross negligence. In certain states, defendants can use a defense known as contributory negligence to bar the plaintiff from claiming damages.

Statute of limitations

If someone else's negligence or careless disregard for your safety cause you to be injured, the law provides the victim with a certain amount of time to file a lawsuit, called the statute of limitations. This time limit, set by the state legislature, is meant to encourage speedy filing and prevent unreasonable delay.

The time frame for filing a claim is different from state to state and from one type of injury to the next. In Pennsylvania for instance car accidents, for instance, you have two years to file a personal injury claim. However, certain claims can be subjected to the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitation is not set until the injury is discovered or at least, should have been discovered.

In certain cases, such as cases 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. It is also possible for a statute of limitation to be waived or to be tolled, such as in the case of minors or individuals who is incarcerated or on military duty.

If you try to file a lawsuit after the statute of limitations has expired, your case will be dismissed without being heard. It is therefore crucial to speak with an experienced attorney for injury before the statute expires.

Damages

A variety of costs associated with an injury are accompanied by the price tag. Special damages include medical expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, lost earnings and the cost of the repair or replacement of your property, in addition to fixed sums. The law does not limit the amount of special damages you can claim.

Other losses don't have an associated price and may be difficult to quantify like pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment from life, and other intangible harms. Putting a dollar amount on personal losses such as physical or emotional discomfort can be difficult but lawyers and insurance companies utilize formulas to attempt to quantify these losses.

A person who is a plaintiff in a whiplash case, for example, may have suffered serious injuries that impact their daily lives. They might have to get help with chores around their home, change their diet and not be able to participate in recreational activities or spending time with family. The victim might experience a loss of enjoyment and this is recoverable as general damages.

To estimate the value of an action for general damages, injured 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 amount by a value ranging from 1.5 to 5. More severe injuries generally result in higher multipliers.

Liability

In law it is a matter of liability. It refers to the person found to be responsible for harm or injury. This could be due negligence or strict liability. The concept of negligence is the foundation of the majority of lawsuits for injuries. Negligence is the act of not acting with a reasonable level of care under the circumstances. Jurors evaluate what a reasonable person would have done under similar circumstances and determine if the defendant's conduct or inaction violated this standard. Some injury cases are based solely on strict liability. For instance, if defective products are the cause of injury.

Victims may also be entitled to compensation in addition to damages for economic loss, for non-economic losses such as discomfort and pain. It's difficult to quantify these damages however, our injury attorneys are experienced in maximizing your claim's value.

Most personal injury lawsuits pit one plaintiff against several defendants, but there are some that are multi-plaintiff cases like class actions or mass torts. One or more of these plaintiffs could be an entity such as a pharmaceutical firm or an insurance company, or it could be another person who is similar to you. In these situations, several parties may be held responsible based on the evidence submitted by each plaintiff and results of an investigation.
