Personal Injury cases,also referred to as tort law cases, cover a wide range of issuesa list of which can be found on our here.
The principal connecting theme in these cases is that the injured person suffers the injury as a result of the actions of another person, whether these actions be intentional or non-intentional.
In order to successfully bring your Personal Injury claim to court, you must first prove that the injury you suffered was not your fault.
Once this can be proven, the courts will examine the extent of the other person's liability ion the accidents occurrence. Their liability can fall into 1 of 3 categories:
I:Negligence
A person is said to have acted negligently if the accident occurred because the accused failed to act in a way which would have prevented the accident.
An example of this would be if a person was injured because they slipped on a puddle of water in a supermarket. The store owner would be seen as having acted negligently because, had he cleaned up the puddle, the accident could have been avoided.
II:Intentional Wrong:
A person is found to have committed an unintentional wrong if they purposely went out and injured the other party (pretty self explanatory!)
III:Strict Liability
Strict liability usually applies to defective products. If a defective product causes injury to a person, the manufacturer of the store can be held liable for not making sure the product was safe/fit for sale.
For example if a person buys a lawnmower and is injured by the lawnmower, the manufacturer can be held liable for not ensuring the products safety.
