A personal injury is a physical or emotional injury sustained by an individual for which another party is responsible. The main goal in filing a personal injury lawsuit is to obtain financial restitution for the full extent of the victim’s injuries. The amount that can be collected in a personal injury suit depends upon the specific facts of each case; however, to win any personal injury lawsuit, you must be able to prove the other party’s responsibility in causing the injury. In some cases, those responsible may choose to settle outside of court and pay out fair financial compensation to the victim without a trial.
There are a few general classifications to specify and describe the nature of personal injuries:
An accidental personal injury is an injury that was inflicted unintentionally by the party at fault. The amount of the compensatory award in an accidental personal injury case is based on a variety of factors including the severity of the injury, its financial impact, as well as the effects the injury has had on the victim’s life and possibly his or her family’s life.
An intentional personal injury is an injury inflicted upon a victim purposefully, meaning the responsible party deliberately intended to perform the action which resulted in harm to the victim. Examples of this type of personal injury include physical or emotional injuries sustained during any sort of assault, abuse, battery, deliberate animal attack, or general mistreatment.
> Product Liability
Injuries resulting from defective products can also be considered intentional, as the companies who manufacture and distribute these products have an obligation to ensure the safety of these products before they are put on the market.
A serious personal injury that results in death is called wrongful death. In the instance of a wrongful death, the surviving family members of the deceased may want to file a lawsuit against those responsible, in order to recover compensation for the financial and emotional impact that the death has had on their lives.
Many factors will go into determining the amount of financial compensation that is fair in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
The first and often the most important consideration is the severity of the injury. Next, your lawyer will assess the collateral impact that the injury has had on your and your loved ones’ lives. Many times a serious personal injury can change your life and prevent you from being able to participate fully in certain fundamental aspects of your life, such as your job.
