Personal injury law is the section of the law that holds people or organizations responsible for negligent acts that cause harm or injury to others. Using California’s personal injury laws, victims of a number of types of injury: physical, financial, emotional or psychological may file suit to hold the people or parties responsible for their injuries. Personal injury lawsuits generally seek to recover the costs victims have to pay because of the accident, which may include medical bills, property damage, missed work, funeral expenses and more. Personal injury lawsuits usually also seek to recover compensation for damages that are tougher to put a dollar amount on, such as financial compensation for a lifelong disability that was incurred by an accident or the death of a family member. In extreme cases, accident victims may also be able to recover punitive damages, which seek to punish the negligent party for deliberate or egregious violations of the law.
San Diego personal injury lawsuits often, but not always, arise out of avoidable or foreseeable accidents. Some may occur from deliberate actions by the negligent party that violate the law. And a few occur from “strict liability,” a legal concept saying that the negligent party is legally responsible for harm regardless of the circumstances.
