For numerous reasons, contrary to popular myth, personal injury is definitely not an area of the law that is suited for self-representation.
There are many different kinds of personal injury cases, including automobile accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, slip-and-falls, and other instances of body-injury negligence. Each type of personal injury case requires different skills and expertise for success. These cases can be very difficult. Four points for the layman to remember about personal injury cases are as follows : (1) there are no forms or self-help programs to guide the layman in pursuing his or her personal injury case; (2) You will need expert witnesses in most cases, and evidence in every case; (3) You will need to understand and use the "discovery" process; and (4) Your case is likely to settle without a court hearing.
Personal injury cases are part of the larger law of torts. The terms "personal injury" mean an injury to your body or mind. A "tort" means a wrongful action that injures a person, for which the injured persona may receive monetary compensation from the person who committed the wrongful action. Torts may result from intentional or negligent actions.
"Negligence" is an action that accidentally injures someone. In a negligence case, the plaintiff claims that the defendant did not do something that he or she should have done. To make a claim for negligence, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant breached a duty of care owed to the defendant causing injury to the plaintiff.
In all personal injury claims, you are limited by the "statute of limitations." The "statute of limitations" is the law that limits the amount of time you have to file a legal case against another person.
