What Is Injury Law?

Injury law is concerned with civil violations that can cause harm to your body, mind and emotions. The goal of a successful lawsuit is to obtain funds to pay for damages such as medical bills and pain and discomfort.

It's hard to avoid injuries, but you need to protect yourself as much possible. For instance, if are likely to fall backwards, you should turn your head to the side and then shield it with your arms.

Negligence

Someone who has suffered injuries or other damages as a result of someone else's negligence may make a claim for negligence and seek financial compensation. To prove their case the plaintiff must establish four elements such as breach of duty, causation, and damages.

Negligence is the inability to behave in a manner that reasonable people would act in similar circumstances. For instance, a driver must obey traffic laws in order to avoid injuries and accidents to other people on the road. A doctor is obliged to provide patients with the kind of care similar to that a similarly trained medical professional would give in similar circumstances. Lawyers can also use experts to prove that the defendant's conduct fell below industry norms.

In order to prevail in a case of negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the breach by the defendant was the primary cause of the injury. This is called legal causation, and a skilled personal injury lawyer will argue that the actions of the defendant were the sole possible reason for their injuries.

The plaintiff must show that their injuries led to real financial losses including lost income and medical bills. The most serious type of negligence is gross negligence. It involves an absolute lack of concern for others' safety. Gross negligence is when a nursing house does not change the bandages on the patient for several days. In some states, defendants may use a defense called contributory negligence to bar the plaintiff from claiming damages.

Statute of limitations

If the negligence of someone else or careless disregard for your safety causes you to be injured, the law provides the victim with a certain amount of time to start a lawsuit, which is known as the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations, as set by the legislature of the state, is intended to encourage timeliness in filing and prevent unreasonable delay.

The time frame for filing a claim differs from state to state and also from type of injury to kind of injury. For instance, in Pennsylvania personal injury cases such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to make a claim. However, some claims may be subject to what's known as the discovery rule. This means that the statute of limitations does not begin until your injury is discovered or ought to have been discovered.

In other cases like those that involve intentional torts, like assaults, false imprisonment, defamation and the deliberate infliction of emotional distress the statute of limitation is longer. The statute of limitations may be exempted or tolled in some circumstances, like when a minor is involved or someone is on military duty or in prison.

If you decide to file a suit after the statute of limitations has expired, your case could be dismissed without hearing. It is therefore important to consult a seasoned injury lawyer well before the statute runs out.

Damages

A lot of the expenses that result from an injury come with an associated cost. These are known as special damages. They can include medical expenses, out-of-pocket expenses, lost wages, the cost of repairing or injured replace your property, and other fixed amounts. The law does limit the amount you can recover in special damages.

Other losses are hard to quantify, for instance suffering and pain, loss in enjoyment of life, as well as other intangible harms. It can be difficult to determine a dollar value on subjective losses like physical or emotional discomfort, but lawyers and insurance companies use formulas to quantify these losses.

For example, a plaintiff in a personal injury lawsuit for whiplash might have suffered significant injuries that cause lots of pain and discomfort to their daily life. They might need to seek help with household chores, eat differently, and may be unable to participate in social or enjoying leisure activities. The victim could suffer a loss in enjoyment, that can be compensated through general damages.

To determine the value of general damages claims lawyers and insurers usually start with calculating the total for medical special damages and then add on the value of any income loss. They will then multiply that number by a number that ranges from 1.5 to 5. More severe injuries usually result in greater multipliers.

Liability

In law legal terms, liability refers the person who is responsible for an injury or harm. This can be due to negligence or strict liability. Negligence is the basis of most lawsuits involving injuries. Negligence means that you have failed to act with a reasonable degree of care in the context of the situation. Jurors consider what an average person would have done in similar circumstances, and then determine whether the defendant's action or inaction was a violation of this standard. However, some injury cases are built on strict liability, like the event that a defective product causes injuries.

Victims may also be entitled to compensation in addition to economic damages in the event of non-economic damages like discomfort and pain. It's hard to estimate these damages however, our injury lawyers are experienced in maximizing your claim's value.

Most personal injury lawsuits involve one plaintiff against multiple defendants, but some are multi-plaintiff suits like class actions or mass torts. The plaintiffs could be corporations, such as insurance companies or a pharmaceutical company or they could be individuals just like you. In these types of cases, multiple parties can be held responsible based on the evidence presented by each plaintiff as well as the results of a thorough investigation. If you were injured by someone else's negligence or wrongful act and you are injured, call us immediately to discuss your case.
