Слайд 2What Qualifies as a Personal Injury Accident?


Слайд 3The term “personal injury accident” covers a broad spectrum of scenarios

in which a victim is injured, such as:


Car accidents
Dog bites
Medical errors
Slip and fall accidents
Premises liability
Product liability
Workplace accidents where third party liability applies
Industrial disease
Wrongful death


Слайд 4Intentional Torts, Strict Liability and Negligence


Слайд 5As a victim, you are only entitled to compensation if your

injuries were caused by the intentional or negligent conduct of another party or if strict liability applies

Слайд 6Intentional torts – an intentional tort occurs when someone’s intentional conduct

causes injury

Слайд 7Strict liability – strict liability does not look at the mindset,


or mens rea, of the defendant

Слайд 8When strict liability applies a victim is entitled to recover for

damages simply by showing that he or she was injured

Слайд 9Negligence – most personal injury accident cases are evaluated using a

negligence standard

Слайд 10Negligence requires that a legal duty to existed from the defendant

to the victim to do everything reasonably possible to prevent harm to the victim and that the defendant breached that duty

Слайд 11Damages –Economic, Non-Economic
and Punitive


Слайд 12Economic damages are intended to cover out of pocket expenses such

as medical bills, property damage, and lost wages that result from the accident

Слайд 13Non-economic damages are what people often refer to as “pain and

suffering”, though they actual cover much more than that

Слайд 14In situations where punitive damages are potentially available, the victim has

to prove that the defendant’s conduct was malicious, intentional, fraudulent, or reckless

Слайд 15Calculating Damages


Слайд 16Some factors that will be considered when calculating the value of

your non-economic award/settlement include:

Type of injuries suffered
Extent/severity of injuries
Number of injuries
Proof of income


Слайд 17Some factors that will be considered when calculating the value of

your non-economic award/settlement include:

Prognosis (will future treatment/surgery likely be required?)
Age and overall health of victim prior to accident
Family relationships that suffer as a result of the injuries
Professional/career consequences of injuries
