Personal injury refers to situations in which an individual or corporation causes temporary or permanent physical injury through their wrongful, negligent, or reckless conduct. Personal injury law is designed to provide monetary compensation to those that have been injured. Personal injury encompasses a broad area of law that covers many types of injuries, including accidents, negligent acts, medical errors, or nursing homes negligence.
In a personal injury case, the injured party is seeking compensation for all of the losses they have experienced and will continue to experience as a result of that injury is called the “plaintiff,” and the person or entity allegedly responsible for the injury is called the “defendant.” In fatal accidents, the family of the loved one may bring a wrongful death suit against the person or entity responsible for the loss.
Personal injury cases arise out of many circumstances, including motor vehicle accidents, premises liability, professional malpractice, or nursing home negligence. Generally, negligence is the basis for most personal injury cases. In order to prevail in a personal injury lawsuit, the plaintiff must establish the following elements of negligence:
For example, motorists have a legal duty to follow the laws applicable to operating a vehicle and conduct themselves according to the standards. If a driver is rear-ended and injured, they will have to establish that the at-fault driver violated the applicable standard of care owed, such as disobeying a red light. Additionally, the driver that was rear-ended must establish their injuries and damages were caused by the at-fault driver’s failure to comply with the applicable standard of care.
A personal injury victim may recover economic and non-economic compensatory damages. Economic damages are tangible damages that can be quantified easily and may include past and future medical expenses, past and future lost wages, household services, vocational rehabilitation, property damages, out-of-pocket expenses, and lost earning capacity. Non-economic damages may include pain, emotional anguish, humiliation, reputational damage, loss of enjoyment of activities, or worsening of prior injuries.
