Personal injury cases fall under a body of law called torts, or civil wrongs that are the basis for a lawsuit. Injury or harm received by the victims of such wrongs provides the basis for a claim for damages incurred by the injured party. Personal injury torts fall under three general headings:
- Intentional tort: the most severe, the defendant knew, or should have known, injury could occur as a result of his or her actions or inactions.
- Negligent tort: the defendant didn't know that an injury could occur as a result of his or her actions and was acting in a reasonably safe manner.
- Strict liability tort: a specific action caused the damages rather a lack of care on the defendant’s part. This is often the basis for a lawsuit against a manufacturer whose product causes injury.
Personal injury covers a broad area of claims, from automobile accidents, truck accidents, and motorcycle accidents, to product liability, slip and fall claims and head injuries. When you have received an injury to yourself or your property, it may be time to seek advice from a Hazleton injury attorney.
To determine whether you have a case, you must first have experienced an injury, which can be physical or emotional. There must also be another party who caused your injury. Physical injuries encompass such claims as hospitalization, rehabilitation or disfigurement, while emotional injuries include distress. You can claim for both your direct financial losses in terms of medical bills and lost income, as well as seeking compensation for non-financial losses and punitive damages.
If you’ve suffered an injury, you may want to simply ask the person who caused it for compensation. If that doesn’t work, you should consult a personal injury lawyer. If your injury is major, you should contact an injury attorney as soon as possible. And if offered a settlement, please consult an attorney. The insurance company has one, and it doesn’t have your best interests in mind.
