Personal injury lawsuits in Virginia are the result of someone's negligence toward another. "Personal injury" is the general title given to civil wrongs (torts) that cause bodily injury or harm. A tort assigns responsibility to an individual, group or corporation (defendant) for causing injury to another person (plaintiff). The primary goals of personal injury law are to provide relief (damages) to the plaintiff and to deter the defendant from inflicting further harm to others.
In Virginia, you must prove that you have been injured by another party's careless or reckless actions to win a personal injury claim. Plaintiffs can file on of several types of torts against defendants, including:
Negligence - an individual's act or failure to act has caused injury. While the act may be unintentional, the defendant is still liable for damages.
Intentional misconduct - is the malicious or intentional infliction of harm that results in an injury or death. This type of claim can be litigated under both civil and criminal law. In addition to a civil damages award, punishment can also include prison.
Physical injuries can include disability, disfigurement, loss of one of the five senses, loss of limb, and permanent or disfiguring scars. Mental harm can include emotional trauma, mental anguish, embarrassment, or loss of enjoyment. Whether your injuries were caused by an accident, malicious intent, or a defect in a product's design, production or labeling, you have the right to seek compensation for economic and non-economic damages.
In order to prevail in your personal injury case, your personal injury attorney must prove that the defendant was responsible for your personal injuries, and that, had it not been for his or her negligence, you would not have been injured.
