Personal injury cases are those cases in which a person, who has suffered injuries because of another person or a company, tries to legally hold those people liable for what they have done. There are several types of personal injury cases and we will now discuss the main ones:
-
Medical Malpractice
By medical malpractice we mean the act of negligence that was committed by a medical practitioner or a nurse and that has resulted in sufferings or death of a patient. If the plaintiff wants to hold the defendant responsible for what they have done, the plaintiff should prove that the medical practitioner or the nurse were really responsible to care for the patent. Thus, if the professional failed to act correctly or didn’t act at all, then the patient may sue them and collect damages for a medical malpractice case. The plaintiff may have suffered either financial or mental losses, such as: lost wages or pain and suffering.
-
Automobile Accidents
Automobile accidents are a frequent type of personal injury cases. The party that did not have the guilt for the accident, may collect damages for the harm they have suffered. In order to file a personal injury claim after an automobile accident had happened; there is a need to collect all the information about the people that were involved in the accident and to find out which party should be blamed for the accident.
The injured person should keep record of all medical expenses because they may be provided remedies after the court’s decision. In some cases the injured person may be compensated not only for material damages but also for pain and suffering.
-
Products Liability
If you have purchased a product that exhibits non-conformities to its warranty or that is simply defective, then you can file a lawsuit against the manufacturer. A product defect may be a result of wither a manufacturing or a design defect or the manufacturer may simply fail to warn its consumers about the existing problem.
