Florida Personal Injury Law

Personal injury, as the name implies, are injuries to a single person. In contrast, crimes of unlawful acts against society. The government punishes those who commit crimes with criminal penalties. For personal injury, the government is not to punish the culprits, but gives the victim the right to pursue a private, civil action called a tort action against the perpetrators.

Most civil cases are using theories of tort law include (from the Latin wordtortus what that means, twisted). Personal injury claims are usually based on the premise that tort law, if someone does something that another person physically, mentally and financially damaging to the person who suffers damage should be compensated for the loss, and the person who lost should be paid. Whether a civil action will succeed in tort law, is guilty of the kind of tort.

One type of injury involves the purposeful behavior of one person against another with the intention of harming that personor that person's property. The perpetrator of such an act has committed an intentional tort and is liable for any damages caused by the act. In general, intentional torts are divided into two categories: Intentional torts against people (such as assault) and intentional torts against property (such as trespass).

Once a personal injury has occurred, the defendant has a liability to make good the damage done. “Damages” is the term for whatever is owed to you to compensate for your loss. She and the wrongdoer by insurance, or some other means, may seek damages. But often the damages offered to you are not fully compensate for that, your loss. This is especially true if you have physical injury and does not work in the situation.
