It is difficult to avoid injuries such as this, but it's important to protect yourself as much as possible. If you're likely to fall forward, you should turn your head to shield it and use your arms.

Negligence

Anyone who suffers injuries or other losses as a result of another's negligent actions can file a negligence suit and pursue financial compensation. To prove their case, the plaintiff will need to establish four elements such as breach of duty, causation and damages.

Negligence is the inability to behave in a manner that reasonable people would act under similar circumstances. For example, a motorist must obey traffic laws in order to avoid injuries and injured accidents to other people on the road. A doctor must treat patients in the same manner that an individual with similar training would do under similar circumstances. Lawyers can utilize expert testimony to prove that the defendant's behavior fell short of the industry standards.

In order to prevail in a case of negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant's negligence was the sole cause of the injury. This is referred to as legal causation. A reputable personal injury lawyer will argue that the defendant's actions were the sole cause of the plaintiff's injuries.

The plaintiff must prove that their injuries led to tangible financial loss like lost income and medical bills. Gross negligence is a more serious form of negligent behavior because it entails a complete disregard for the safety of others. Gross negligence occurs when a nursing facility fails to change bandages on the patient for several days. In some states, defendants are able to use a defense called contributory negligence, which can prevent the plaintiff from seeking damages.

Statute of Limitations

When someone else's negligent actions or reckless disregard for your safety causes you to be injured, the law provides a limited amount of time to make a claim, also known as the statute of limitations. This time frame is determined by the legislature of the state to encourage timely filing and to prevent unreasonable delays.

For instance, in Pennsylvania personal injury cases, such as car accidents, you generally have two years from the date of the accident to make claims. However, some claims may be subject to what's called the discovery rule, which means that the statute of limitations will not start until the injury is discovered or ought to have been discovered.

In other circumstances that involve intentional torts such as assaults or defamation, false imprisonment and deliberate infliction or damage to emotional distress the statute of limitation is extended. A statute of limitations could also be waived or tolled in certain circumstances, for example, when minors are involved, or the person is on military duty or incarcerated.

If you try to file a suit after the statute of limitation has expired, your lawsuit could be dismissed without hearing. Therefore, it is important to consult a seasoned injury lawyer prior to when the statute of limitations expires.

Damages
