A typical wrongful death case in Savannah GA

Savannah GA Wrongful Death Lawyer

Auto accidents, the area in which maximum injury actions arise, provide a perfect example of how the tort system works. There will be a negligence claim in a "fault" state if you are injured by a driver who failed to exercise reasonable care, as drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care everytime they are on the road. When they breach the duty and results your injury, personal injury law says you can recoup your losses.

Negligence is much more than claims stemming from motor accidents. It forms the basis for liability in majority of wrongful death lawsuits, including medical malpractice.
Strict liability is an important area of tort law. Strict liability holds designers and manufacturers strictly liable for injuries resulting from defective products. In such cases, the injured person does not have to demonstrate negligence of the manufacturer. Instead, you must show that the product was designed or manufactured in a manner that made it unreasonably dangerous for its intended use.

Intentional wrongs can also be the grounds of injury claims, though it is rarer. If an individual injures you, for example, even if it is a practical joke, you might be able to win a suit for battery. If a store employee wrongly detains you for shoplifting, you might be able to win a lawsuit for false imprisonment. While those guilty of some of the intentional torts, assault and battery, for example‚ can be criminally convicted for their actions, a tort case is a civil proceeding in court brought by an individual or entity and is completely independent of any criminal charges initated by the government.
