There are two basic elements in
every personal injury case:
liability and damages. You must
prove before you can recover damages
that the other person was negligent.
Once you resolve that issue the
amount of damages becomes important.
Grounds of Personal Injury Claims
Liability and damages can be
established on several bases.
-
Negligence - When a case is
filed for the failure or
omission of another we call that
a tort. This is where the
defendant is accused of causing
the injury by failing to prevent
it. An example would be someone
who was speeding and caused an
accident. Another example would
be an accusation that a property
owner failed to clear ice off a
sidewalk.
-
Intentional Wrong - Intentional
wrongs can sometimes be brought
as civil, personal injury claims
apart from any criminal charges
the defendant may be facing.
