What Is Injury Law?

Injury law is concerned with civil wrongs that could damage your body, mind and even your emotions. The purpose of an injury lawsuit is to collect monetary compensation for damages like medical bills, suffering and pain.

It is difficult to avoid injuries, but you must protect yourself as much possible. If you're about to fall forward, tilt your head to shield it, and then use your arms.

Negligence

Anyone who has suffered injuries or other losses due to negligence of another can bring a lawsuit against the negligent party and seek financial compensation. However, the claimant must first prove four factors to prove their claim: breach of duty, breach causation, damages and breach of duty.

Negligence is defined as a person's inability to exercise the same level of care a reasonably prudent person would be expected to exercise in similar circumstances. For instance, a driver must follow traffic laws in order to prevent accidents and harm to others on the road. A doctor has a duty to provide patients with the kind of care similar to that a similarly trained medical professional would give in similar situations. A lawyer can also use expert testimony to show that the defendant's conduct was below industry norms.

To prevail in a negligence case, the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant's breach of duty was the direct cause of their injury. This is referred to 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 has to prove that their injuries caused an unjustifiable financial loss, like medical bills and loss of income. A more serious type negligence is gross negligence, which is an absolute lack of concern for others' safety. Gross negligence occurs when a nursing facility is not able to change bandages for the patient for several days. In certain states, defendants may use the defense of contributory negligence to stop the plaintiff from claiming damages.

Statute of limitations

When someone else's negligent actions or careless disregard for your safety causes you to be injured and suffer injuries, the law gives you an period of time to start a lawsuit, which is known as the statute of limitations. This time limit, set by the legislature of the state, is intended to encourage timeliness in filing and prevent unreasonable delay.

The statute of limitations varies from state to state, and from one type of injury to the next. For instance when it comes to Pennsylvania personal injuries, such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of your accident to file an action. However, certain claims could be subject to what is called the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitations doesn't start until your injury is discovered or should reasonably have been discovered.

In some cases, like ones involving intentional crimes such as false imprisonment and assaults and defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress, the limitation period is extended. It is also possible for a statute of limitations to be waived or to be tolled, such as in the instance of minors or individuals who is detained or on military duty.

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

Damages

Many costs related to injuries come with costs. These are known as special damages and may include medical expenses, out-of-pocket costs, lost wages, the cost of repairing or replace your property, and other fixed sums. The law does not restrict the amount of special damages you can recover.

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

A person who is a plaintiff in a whiplash case, for instance, may have suffered serious injuries that impact their daily lives. They may have to seek help with chores around the home, eat differently, and avoid recreational events or gatherings with friends. The victim could suffer a loss of enjoyment, that can be compensated through general damages.

To determine the value of a claim for general damages, lawyers and insurers typically begin by calculating the amount for medical special damages and then add the value of any income losses. Then, they will multiply this by a number between 1.5 and 5. More severe injuries generally result in higher multipliers.

Liability

In law liability refers to the party found responsible for harm or injury. This can be due to strict liability or negligence. The majority of lawsuits involving injuries are based on the concept of negligence. Negligence is the failure to act with reasonable care in the circumstances. Jurors determine what a reasonable person would have done under similar circumstances and determine whether the defendant's action or inaction violated the standard. Certain injury cases are solely based on strict liability. For instance, when defective products are the reason for injuries.

In addition to damages for economic losses, victims could be entitled to compensation for non-economic damages like suffering and pain. The amount of these damages is difficult to place a value on however, our skilled lawyers for injury are adept in maximizing the value your claim.

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. The plaintiffs could be companies such as an insurance company or a pharmaceutical company, or they could be individuals just like you. In these instances, multiple parties may be held responsible depending on the evidence offered by each plaintiff and results of an investigation.
