Injury related questions
What is personal injury?
Personal injury is an area of law that seeks to help victims who are injured because of another party's negligence. Negligence can be either active or passive, meaning that one person may cause injury to another either by behaving wrongfully or by failing to fulfill a responsibility. A reckless driver may actively cause an injury to another person, while a business that fails to keep its grounds safe may contribute passively to a victim's injury. In either case, the negligent party should be held liable, and the victim may be eligible for compensation.
What kinds of cases fall under the heading of personal injury law?
Any case in which the victim has been injured because of someone else's negligence is typically considered a personal injury case. Automobile accidents and premises liability are two examples of personal injury cases.
What is the statute of limitations?
The statute of limitations refers to the time period in which a specific case can be filed. For most types of personal injury cases, the statute of limitations mandates that the case must be filed within two years of the victim's injury. If the claim is for workers' compensation, the time limitation is typically one year. Once the statute of limitations has expired, with a few exceptions, a lawsuit may not be filed regardless of the merits of the case.
What is workers compensation?
Workers compensation is a benefit system that is used to compensate employees who are injured on the job. Workers compensation can pay for medical bills and can make up for lost wages if the person is unable to work due to their injury. Unlike personal injury cases, workers compensation is awarded regardless of fault. As long as the injury is related to the victim's job, he or she is entitled to workers compensation. If an employee accepts workers' compensation, he or she can not then file a lawsuit against the employer, although a lawsuit may sometimes be filed against a third party. A claim for workers compensation benefits should be filed, however, if the company wrongfully denies a victim the workers compensation benefits they deserve.
What is sexual abuse litigation?
Sexual abuse litigation seeks to help the victims of sexual abuse or assault. Sexual abuse is usually committed by someone in a position of power or authority. Depending on the situation, an individual or an institution may be legally responsible. Victims of sexual abuse may be eligible to receive compensation for both their physical and their emotional trauma.
Will you take my case?
Each case must be individually evaluated, so the best course of action is to contact our firm as soon as possible. In general, strong personal injury cases can show not only that negligence occurred but that it was the direct cause of injury. For example, in a premises liability case, it needs to be demonstrated, first, that negligence occurred -- a slippery area was unmarked in a store -- and, second, that the negligence contributed directly to the victim's injury -- the victim fell as a result of stepping on the slippery ground. This would not have occurred if there had not been a negligent act on the part of the storeowner. If you think that you may have a case, please contact Mr. Hoffspiegel today. There is no initial consultation fee.
