Evaluating Liability in Your Personal Injury Case

When you’re hurt in a serious accident, you need to know who’s at fault for your injuries and who has financial liability. You may know who caused your injuries, for example, but they may not be the ones legally responsible for seeing you compensated for the ensuing losses.

For example, you may have been injured because an employee at a department store didn’t warn you about a wet floor, leading to a slip-and-fall premises liability accident. Technically, they caused the accident, but their employer or the property owner are the ones liable for the damage and the costs of your injuries.

Fault can get complicated, and you may need guidance to identify the liable party in your accident claim. One of your attorney’s jobs is to investigate the accident to firmly determine what caused it, and then work to identify who is liable for causing the accident and what form their negligence took.

Personal Injury Lawsuits After a Criminal Case

In some cases, you may have been injured by someone in the middle of committing a crime. They may have even already been convicted of the crime, but what does that mean for your injuries? A criminal conviction is intended to bring justice and deter future criminal acts, but it’s not meant to compensate the victims of accidents and injuries.

Victims must wait until the criminal trial has concluded to file a civil personal injury lawsuit. However, your personal injury lawyers can use evidence from the criminal trial for your civil lawsuit. Even if the at-fault party is not convicted of a crime, they can still be held accountable in civil court, which means a chance at financial compensation for you.

Compensation for Miami Personal Injury Victims

A severe personal injury comes with costs. These costs are often financial, but they can also be intangible in nature, too. Damages are the financial compensation you receive to pay for these costs. Whether you were hurt in a car accident or need help with premises liability cases, your attorney will seek compensation from all responsible parties that reflects the entirety of your losses. This is true whether you need to sue the state or federal government or multiple insurance companies.

There are two main types of compensatory damages:

Economic Damages: Economic damages will impact your life immediately. Your injuries may require long-term medical care, which can mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may also be unable to work while you heal from your personal injury, which means lost income, wages, and money. If your property was damaged during the accident, that firmly falls under economic damages, too.
Non-Economic Damages: Your damages should also cover your emotional and mental suffering from the accident. These damages are intangible, but they can affect your quality of life as much, if not more, than physical injuries. For example, if you broke a bone, you may suffer from intense pain that makes it hard to focus on daily tasks. Your personal injury lawyers have the legal team and the tools to calculate the monetary value of these accident losses and help get you the result you require.

In addition to compensatory damages, some personal injury cases call for punitive damages, as well. Also known as “exemplary” damages, punitive damages are meant to punish the defendant rather than compensate the plaintiff for specific losses. While punitive damages are less commonly awarded than compensatory damages, the court may choose to award punitive damages if it determines that the defendant acted with gross or egregious negligence, willful or wanton misconduct, or intent to inflict injury or harm.
