Tort Law: Refuge of the Injured

In today?s harsh realities, people from all walks of life are always at the risk of getting into various accidents. More often than not, other people or groups of people have been engaged and could be held liable with the accidents that happened. It may be due to their connection in school, at work, or at a given community. Depending on how the physical, mental, or emotional harm is sustained, these incidents bring about personal injuries which may be slight or serious. Consequently, personal injury law, otherwise known as the tort law, acknowledges the wrongful acts inflicted to an affected party and therefore giving him the right to file a case in court as long as his claims can stand and have sufficient merits. Some torts can be considered as criminal offences that can cause the imprisonment of the accused. On the contrary, the tort law was enacted to provide help and justice to the victims who incurred injuries and prevent it from happening again which may further harm others and eventually cause more serious damages or even intensify the consequences. More so, personal injuries are classified into three general categories. First, intentional torts, which are classified to those criminal acts ? the accused have or should have the knowledge on what will be the effects of his acts or failure to act such as striking a bystander with much intent of afflicting him. Second, the negligent torts are those incidents that happen due to the defendant?s irrational and precarious acts like defying traffic regulations that set off a mishap causing injuries to a pedestrian. Last, strict liability torts are those that are established when an act results to inflicting damage to other people and do not rely on the extent of cautiousness done by the defendant. Thus, producing and selling substandard products can be included in this category. Though, there are also the so-called specific torts, like negligence, assault, battery, trespass, products liability, and intentional infliction of emotional distress among others. Accordingly, these general categories of the tort law draws out the theory for each separate case being filed by an injured party. For instance, the improper and incompetent approach of a medical practitioner, way ward the standard procedure, that causes further deterioration of a patient?s condition can be a clear grounds for the patient to file a case against the negligent doctor. Meanwhile, the hospital can be sued for liabilities because of employing the negligent doctor. An altogether different case would then occur if evidences point the doctor to intentionally prescribing the wrong medication for the patient. Furthermore, there are accepted principles that govern on what types of damages can be expected by a person. Nonetheless, whatever damages those are, the needing payment by the accused party would depend on the case established by the injured party. Some may sue for an injunction to prevent the continuation of a treacherous conduct or operation. Some demands for monetary damages. Other types of damages the injured party may recover are as follows ? loss of earnings capacity, pain and suffering, and reasonable medical expenses. They include both present and future expected losses. In brief, in tort law, the damage is defined as a remedy that comes in a form of monetary compensation to the harmed party. One may also seek the assistance of a qualified lawyer to help him out in this legal matter.
