Overview

The law allows recovery of money damages for injuries inflicted through the negligent or wrongful conduct of another. The most common, everyday example is the injury sustained in a vehicular accident where you, the plaintiff, are hurt by the irresponsible conduct of the other driver, the defendant. In such a case, the law permits you to claim damages for various items (lost wages, mental anguish, medical expenses, etc.) from the defendant or his insurance company. Of course, injuries may result from other causes such as a defective product, the condition of premises, professional malpractice, or through the intentional actions of someone in assaulting you. In each of these cases, the law gives you the right to seek justice in a court of law and to make the wrongdoer pay for the damages they have inflicted on you.
