The Basics of Personal Injury Law

In civil law, a personal injury claim is a legal claim to monetary compensation to make a victim whole again after a negligent party causes an accident or injury. Negligence is a key term in personal injury law. It means to act with a level of carelessness that a reasonable person would not, causing harm to others.

Negligence involves four main elements:

  1. The defendant (at-fault party) owed a legal duty of care. A legal duty of care is an obligation to act reasonably, prudently, and in accordance with acceptable standards.
  2. The defendant breached a duty of care. A breach of duty can refer to any action or omission that causes the defendant not to fulfill his or her duty of care.
  3. The defendant’s action injured the plaintiff. The defendant’s breach of duty must be the proximate cause of the accident or injury in question.
  4. The plaintiff has compensable damages. Furthermore, the plaintiff must have suffered losses in the accident, such as medical bills or pain and suffering.

Not every accident or injury will lead to a personal injury claim. If you are curious whether the circumstances of your accident give you grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit or insurance claim, consult with an attorney.

Why You Should Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer

Although not every personal injury case requires an attorney, hiring one can be a significant help to you and your family. You can focus on the things that matter the most, such as getting medical treatment and healing from your serious injuries, while your lawyer takes care of complicated legal processes for you. Your lawyer will take over settlement negotiations with an insurance company or represent you during a court trial, if necessary.

An insurance company may try to take advantage of you as an unrepresented plaintiff. Insurers want to save money by devaluing claims and wrongfully rejecting payouts. Your lawyer can make sure this does not happen, fighting for the recovery you need for both past and future damages. From investigating the cause of your injury to demanding maximum financial compensation, a personal injury lawyer will be in your corner every step of the way.
