Car Accidents • Personal Injury • Whiplash • Tort • Motor Vehicle Accidents
A "personal injury" involves an injury and/or injuries to an individual. In this area of law, the injured party files a civil suit against the responsible party/parties. In general, this is referred to as a "tort" action. In layperson's terms, a "tort" is a wrong against a person. Basically, most accidents and/or injuries against another person can constitute a tort - whether it be from a car accident, the use of a defective product, or the negligence of another.
In some tort actions, there can be varying degrees of fault. This all depends on "who did what". Additionally, to prevail in a tort action, each element of a claim must be proven. The injured person must show that the action (or inaction) of the alleged wrongdoer(s) led to the injury. It is also common that, when more than one person or parties are at fault, the responsibility must be apportioned among all of the wrongdoers.
All of this can be overwhelming; and even more confusing when it is you that is injured. After all, you have been injured and have other issues to deal with. More than likely, you are in pain, you are undergoing medical treatments, and your enjoyment of life has significantly diminished.
