Personal
injury lawsuits are filed by people (or their representatives) injured
due to the negligence, intentional act or recklessness of someone
else. The injury may be either physical or emotional, and it can
arise from a variety of sources or types of conduct. Some of the
most common types of personal injury cases include slip and fall,
automobile accidents, assaults and battery, and product liability.
In general, the goal of a personal injury action is to determine
who was responsible and to compel the responsible party to compensate
the injured person for the losses sustained.
When someone is determined to be legally accountable for injuring
another, whether directly or through a product for which they are
responsible, he or she is liable for the injury and can be made
to pay the injured person compensatory damages. Compensatory damages
attempt to put the injured person back in the position he or she
was in before the injury. In some cases, punitive damages (additional
money paid as a punishment for conduct) are awarded to punish the
wrongdoers and prevent them from doing additional harm.
