When an accident or mistake hurts an innocent victim, a personal injury claim can offer some degree of compensation. Over 34,000 people are killed in car or truck accidents on America’s roadways in any year. Over 98,000 fatalities each year are due to medical mistakes. Personal injury lawsuits allow every-day Americans harmed through no fault of their own to hold the party that caused their injuries accountable for their actions. Specific torts include trespass, assault, battery, negligence, medical malpractice, products liability, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Torts are civil wrongs recognized by law as grounds for a lawsuit. While some torts are also crimes, the primary aim of tort law is to provide compensation or relief for the damages incurred by the victim and to deter others from committing the same bad acts. Among the damages the injured party may recover are loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses. They include past and future losses.
Tort law is state law created through judges (common law) and by legislatures (statutory law). Thus, the tort law applicable to any claim will depend upon the controlling state law, typically the state law where the tort occurred.
