Legal Terms:

Personal Injury Law - seeks to protect victims who are harmed by the negligent action or inaction of another person or entity. It is most commonly referred to as Tort Law. According to an article from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, entitled Theories of Tort Law, “A tort is a legal wrong. Tort law is a branch of the civil law. In the case of torts, the plaintiff is the victim of an alleged wrong and the unsuccessful defendant is either directed by the court to pay damages to the plaintiff (the usual remedy) or else to desist from the wrongful activity (so-called "injunctive relief"). Examples include intentional torts such as battery, defamation, and invasion of privacy and unintentional torts such as negligence. Most contemporary tort theory focuses on the legal consequences of accidents, where the relevant forms of liability are negligence and strict liability. This entry likewise focuses on these forms of liability.” (First published Mon Sep 22, 2003; substantive revision Mon Oct 20, 2003)

Negligence - is defined as the failure of a person to act with reasonable care and prudence required of him under certain circumstances. There is negligence when the defendant’s conduct imposes an unreasonable risk upon another and eventually resulting in personal injury. Under the law, every person is obliged to conduct himself or herself in accordance with a certain degree of standard and care in order to avoid unreasonable risk to others. If one fails to conform to that duty and caused injury to another person, he or she will be held liable for any damage caused because of such negligence.

Statutes of Limitations - refers to the time frame that a person can file a lawsuit against another. The Statutes of Limitations not only vary from state to state, but also differ according to the particular cause of action being invoked by the complainant. In California, the Statute of Limitations for personal injuries is generally within two (2) years from the time the cause of action accrued.
