The most obvious form of injury is one that is bodily, which includes things like whiplash, concussion, and broken bones. These injuries should be treated by an expert medical professional.

Statute of limitations

The statute of limitations "clock" generally begins to tick at the time that the accident or incident that caused injury occurs. There are some exceptions to the standard that may extend the time for filing a lawsuit. The discovery rule is a prime exception. It states that the statute-of-limitations clock does not start until the injury has been identified or ought to have been discovered. This is typically seen in cases where conditions are concealed, injured like asbestos or certain medical malpractice claims.

A minor may be granted an additional year to file a lawsuit, even when the statute of limitations would typically expire prior to turning 19. There is also the "tolling" provision that suspends the statute of limitations during certain events or circumstances such as military service, or involuntary mental health obligations. The statute of limitations could be extended for fraud or willful concealment.

Damages

Damages are the compensation paid to the victim after a tort or wrongdoing. There are two types of damages: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages are meant to compensate plaintiffs and to make them whole after an injury. Punitive damages are meant to punish the defendants for fraudulent acts, devious acts that caused harm, or gross negligence.

Statute of Repose

While statutes of limitations and statutes of repose limit the amount of time a plaintiff must wait to file a claim for damages There are a few notable distinctions between the two. Statutes are procedural, forward-looking, and substantive.

In short, a statute of repose is a law that imposes the deadline by which legal actions are barredwith the same exceptions as a statute of limitations. A statute of repose is usually used in lawsuits involving construction defects, products liability suits, and medical malpractice claims.

The major difference is that a statute begins to run following an event, while a statue of limitations usually begins when a plaintiff finds or suffers a loss. This could be a problem in cases involving product liability for instance, as it can take a long time for a plaintiff to purchase and use a product prior to the company is aware of any defect.

Duty of Care

A duty of care is a duty that a person owes others to exercise reasonable care when doing something that could be expected to cause harm. It is typically regarded as negligent when someone fails to perform their duty of care and someone gets injured as a result. A company or person has an obligation to care for the public in many instances. This includes doctors who are preparing tax returns, accountants who prepare tax returns and store owners removing snow off sidewalks to ensure that people don't slip and end up hurting themselves.

To be able to claim damages in a negligence case, you must prove that the person who injured you was in an obligation of care and that they violated this duty of duty and that their lapse caused your injury. The standard of care is usually determined by what other experts would do in similar situations. If a surgeon performs surgery in the wrong place it could be deemed unprofessional conduct, since other surgeons would have be able to read the chart correctly in similar circumstances.

It is vital to note, too, that the standard of care must not be too high that it imposes the same liability to all parties. In jury trials, and in bench trials, the balance is carefully scrutinized by juries as well as judges.
