We all have our unique interests and responsibilities in life that make our life specific to us. However, there are some commonalities to life we can use to help evaluate how a hardship from a personal injury in Thonotosassa caused by someone else’s negligence can impact a person’s life.
Injuries from personal injury cases can arise from many types of circumstances. Typically, personal injuries arise from auto accidents, slip and/or trip and falls, premise liability, and dog bites. For personal injury cases that do not include medical malpractice or worker’s compensation cases, there are set areas of damages that consider the varying amounts of hardships and personal injuries someone may be suffering from following an incident.
Evaluating and determining the level of harm from what was taken from a person’s life due to personal injuries can be a challenging task. In our American justice system, we do not believe in an eye for eye justice. Instead, our justice system asks members of our community to join together on a jury to use their common sense and evaluate our American way of life with all the Freedoms, joys, and privileges we enjoy in our country.
To evaluate the amount of harm and losses a person has suffered after a personal injury in Thonotosassa, the jury is asked to use their common sense in placing an amount on the following areas of damages for injuries caused by someone else’s negligence: Medical bills already incurred in the past and cost of medical bills to be incurred in the future, lost wages incurred in the past and loss of earning capacity in the future, and the noneconomic damages that include pain and suffering, loss of capacity for enjoyment of life, mental anguish, disfigurement, and impairment.
