Tuckahoe Personal Injury Lawyers
Who may be at fault for a personal injury?
An injury is considered a “personal injury” when someone else – whether a person or a business – may be legally to blame. Legal blame usually requires a proving a breach of a legal or professional duty to do something or to refrain from doing something.
Doctors are bound to exercise the standard of care of other physicians practicing in the same specialty and geographic location. Business owners are required to make their premises safe and warn those who enter of dangers of which they are aware. Individuals are required to act reasonably and carefully to prevent harm to others. When these or other duties are breached and you are injured as a result, you may have a valid personal injury claim.
Compensation Available for a Tuckahoe Personal Injury
Virginia law allows personal injury victims to be “made whole” by those legally responsible. Injuries affect each person differently so the Tuckahoe personal injury lawyers at Rutter Mills take the time to understand how an accident affects you.
Compensation includes reimbursement for losses that are easy to calculate like out-of-pocket payments for medical care, lost wages, and funeral costs in the case of wrongful death. But it also includes losses that are more complicated to quantify, like pain and suffering, disability, loss of companionship, and emotional distress. There are several ways to estimate the compensation due for these losses and your personal injury attorney will build a case that fully values them.
