Successfully Bringing a Massachusetts Personal Injury Claim

Most personal injury cases are rooted in the legal theory of negligence. Negligence occurs when an individual fails to exercise reasonable care and ends up hurting another. Reasonable care is defined as how a prudent person would have acted in the same or similar circumstances. To establish liability in a negligence case, the plaintiff must show that a reasonably prudent person in the defendant’s situation would have acted differently under the same circumstances, and by not acting in that way, the defendant directly caused the plaintiff’s injuries. The following examples highlight how negligence can take place in different contexts:

Automobile Accidents: When a car driver hits a pedestrian or another driver because they were not paying attention, distracted or under the influence of alcohol, the negligent driver may be held financially responsible for the victim’s injuries.

Product Liability: Products must be free of hazards that can harm consumers, and those product that contain dangerous elements must contain an adequate warning to guide consumers on how to safely use the product. Often, manufacturers of dangerous or defective products can be held strictly liable for a consumer’s injuries, meaning the consumer does not need to establish the manufacturer’s negligence.

Slip and Falls: If merchandise falls off a shelf and injures a customer, the storeowner would likely be deemed negligent and liable for the customer’s resulting harm. This is because under the doctrine of premises liability property owners have an obligation to maintain the property in a manner free of obvious dangerous conditions or those that would be discovered upon reasonable inspection.

Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice is a type of personal injury claim involving a healthcare provider who renders negligent medical care, resulting in injury to the patient. Surgical errors, misdiagnoses, and birth injuries are all common medical malpractice claims.

Damages Available Through a Framingham Injury Lawsuit

When an injured victim establishes negligence, he or she can pursue damages such as medical expenses, lost income, lost benefits, rehabilitation costs, property damage and more. The exact amount of compensation a victim will recover will depend on the nature and extent of the harm suffered. In Massachusetts, there is a cap on non-economic damages in the amount of $500,000 in medical malpractice cases.
