Idaho Personal Injury Law: Concise Summary
Personal Injury Lawyers Sandpoint, ID: The term “personal injury” is a legal phrase that refers to physical injuries and financial damages resulting from another’s reckless, careless, or intentional wrongdoing or criminal activity.
To get compensation for your claim from a person, government agency, or business (and their insurance company) who harmed you, you must be able to prove 3 things:
- The extent of your damages
- The cause of your harm
- How hold liability (who is responsible for the damages)
Legal responsibility—called “liability”—does not require you to prove the person, government agency, or business at fault intended to harm you; rather, simply that they did cause harm, intended or otherwise. Proving negligence, which is conduct that was hazardous and unreasonable under the circumstances, such speeding and causing a car accident, is enough evidence to prove legal liability.
