When a person is hurt in an accident, the law considers this a “personal injury.” This legal term means an injury to the person’s body, mind, or emotions. The term is most commonly used to refer to a claim made for injuries caused by the negligence of another person or entity under “tort law.”
A tort is a wrong that involves a breach of a civil duty owed to someone else and that the breach of the duty was a proximate cause of the injury claimed. Therefore, the basic elements necessary to prove a tort is to establish that the wrongdoer had a duty of care, breached that duty of care, and that the breach was a proximate cause of the injury sustained.
Common examples of tort claims include medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, trip and fall accidents, and workplace accidents. Some of the personal injuries that may be sustained in an accident include:
When such an injury causes a life-long disability to the injured person, the result can be devastating. There will be continued medical care and treatment, further medical expenses, and a loss of quality of life as enjoyed before the accident.
