Basic Personal Injury Concepts
- Damages : Refers to the monetary compensation from issues such as medical expenses, loss of a job and most importantly, pain and suffering.
- Negligence : Refers to the failure of care by an individual(s) which leads to harm of another person(s)
- Breach of Duty : When a person or entity fails to fulfill their duty of care by acting or failing to act in a certain way that a reasonable person would in similar circumstances.
- Duty Of Care : This is the legal obligation of an individual or entity to avoid causing harm to others. The existence and scope of duty of care depend on the specific circumstances and the relationship between the parties involved.
-
Causation : There are two types of causation:
a. Cause in fact - Did the defendant's actions directly cause the injury?
b. Proximate Cause - Was the defendant's action a foreseeable cause of the injury? - Statute of Limitations : This is the time limit within which a lawsuit must be filed after an injury occurs. The statute of limitations varies by jurisdiction and type of injury.
- Intentional Torts : These are deliberate acts that cause harm to another person, such as assault, battery, or intentional infliction of emotional distress.
- Comparative Fault : In some jurisdictions, if the injured party is partially responsible for their own injury, their damages may be reduced proportionately.
- Strict Liability : In certain cases, liability may be imposed regardless of fault if the activity or product involved is inherently dangerous (e.g. defective products).
