What Is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law involves civil cases in which an individual is injured due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another person or entity. The purpose of personal injury law is to allow the injured person to recover compensation for his or her losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
Most personal injury cases are based on the legal doctrine of negligence. Negligence occurs when a person or entity fails to exercise a certain standard of care, and this failure causes harm to another person.
For example, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles in a reasonably safe manner. If a driver is speeding, tailgating, or texting while driving and causes an accident, he or she may be considered negligent and may be held liable for any resulting injuries and other losses.
Personal injury claims can arise from a wide range of incidents, including car accidents, medical malpractice, and more. Claims can be filed against individuals, businesses, government entities, and other organizations.
Personal injury claims are subject to the state’s statute of limitations. This is a legal deadline that determines how long you have to file a claim. In Massachusetts, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally three years from the date of injury. If you fail to file your claim within this time frame, you will likely lose your right to recover compensation.
