The legal definition of a personal injury is the injury of a person’s body, mind, or emotions due to the negligence, carelessness, or wrongful conduct of another person. Personal injury law is a type of civil law known as tort law. Personal injury law encompasses a broad variety of personal injury claims.
Personal injury claims may include any of the following, and more:
A personal injury claim, or its resulting lawsuit, is the means by which an injured person seeks monetary compensation for their injuries and accident-related losses. Money damages in a personal injury claim are to compensate the victim and hold negligent parties responsible for the injuries they cause.
Personal injury law is wholly separate from criminal law. Where criminal law and prosecutors seek to punish an offender through jail time, fines, and other sanctions, personal injury law, and victims of accidents want to recover the costs of those accidents in money damages from any liable parties.
Determining the extent a personal injury has affected and will continue to affect a victim both currently and in the future is vital in calculating the demand amount in any personal injury claim. Claim amounts and jury awards are also based on the victim’s type and nature of injuries, their prognosis for recovery, and the overall impact the accident has had on their life.
An experienced personal injury accident attorney will thoroughly document personal, medical, emotional, and mental damages to craft a solid case for compensation that includes economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages reimburse a victim for out-of-pocket payments or outstanding bills that are easily calculable and include:
Non-economic damages are more difficult to calculate and include items such as:
Mississippi caps (limits) noneconomic damages at $1,000,000 in personal injury cases except for medical malpractice, where the cap is $500,000. However, in some cases, a victim may be awarded punitive damages according to the defendant’s net worth.
Punitive damages are only awarded in extreme cases. They are meant as a deterrent or a means of punishment and to set an example of a defendant in cases where there is extreme recklessness or egregious behavior on their behalf. If you want to know more about Mississippi’s punitive damage caps or other potential damage awards, such as wrongful death awards available in Mississippi, contact the experienced attorneys at Haug, Farrar, Franco & Ruiz, PLLC.
