Una lesi\u00f3n personal se define como una lesi\u00f3n f\u00edsica o psicol\u00f3gica que es causada por otra persona. Un individuo o empresa puede actuar de manera negligente o intencional o puede ser considerado estrictamente responsable por causar lesiones a una persona. Las demandas que involucran lesiones personales se manejan en los tribunales civiles, donde se aplican sanciones financieras, a diferencia de los tribunales penales, donde se aplican sanciones penales como el encarcelamiento.<\/p>\n
\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la negligencia?<\/h3>\n
negligencia general<\/a> may be described as any failure to act with proper caution or care, when this causes harm to another. A good way to determine whether a person was negligent is to ask oneself: “Would a reasonably prudent person have acted in the same manner if put in the same or similar circumstances?” If the answer is no, the person may have been negligent.<\/p>\n According to Encarta Dictionary, liability is defined as: “legal responsibility for something, especially costs or damages”. If someone else caused your injuries, intentionally or unintentionally, they may be held liable. This means they would pay for your medical care, lost earnings and other damages associated with your injuries.<\/p>\n Strict liability involves a situation where a party is held legally accountable for causing injury to a person regardless of that party’s particular intention or negligence. For example, manufacturers of defective products are held liable if consumers are injured while using a product as directed. The injured consumer does not need to prove that the manufacturer was negligent or intentionally produced a poor product, only that the product itself was defective and caused the consumer’s injuries.<\/p>\n Compensaci\u00f3n financiera es un t\u00e9rmino que se usa para describir el dinero pagado por la parte culpable (el demandado en una demanda por lesiones personales) a la parte lesionada o al representante de la parte lesionada (el demandante). Este dinero est\u00e1 destinado a compensar al demandante por las p\u00e9rdidas y\/o lesiones que caus\u00f3 el demandado.<\/p>\n Los da\u00f1os compensatorios se pagan a un demandante en una demanda por lesiones personales para ayudar al demandante a reconstruir la misma situaci\u00f3n o una similar a la que ten\u00eda antes de que ocurriera la lesi\u00f3n. Los da\u00f1os compensatorios pueden incluir dinero para atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, salarios perdidos, dolor y sufrimiento y gastos m\u00e9dicos futuros. Los da\u00f1os punitivos est\u00e1n destinados a penalizar al acusado. Si un demandante puede recibir da\u00f1os punitivos variar\u00e1 seg\u00fan la ley estatal y el caso particular en cuesti\u00f3n.<\/p>\n Si result\u00f3 herido en un Resbalar y caer<\/a> accident on another’s property, they may be held responsible for your injuries if their negligence caused your accident to occur. For example, the property owner may have known of a missing stair but failed to post a warning sign or get it repaired in a timely manner. If you fell while walking down that staircase, it is possible that the property owner would be held accountable. Because every case is different, it is important to have your lawyer thoroughly investigate the circumstances of your accident to determine who is to blame.<\/p>\n El factor principal que influir\u00e1 en el valor de un caso de lesiones personales es el alcance de las lesiones f\u00edsicas que haya experimentado. M\u00e1s lesiones graves<\/a> resultar en facturas m\u00e9dicas m\u00e1s altas, m\u00e1s tiempo fuera del trabajo y consecuencias a largo plazo, como una discapacidad permanente o la imposibilidad de volver al trabajo. El valor de un reclamo por lesiones personales puede determinarse en funci\u00f3n de las facturas m\u00e9dicas, la p\u00e9rdida de ingresos, la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica futura, la futura p\u00e9rdida de ingresos y el alcance del trauma emocional que haya experimentado.<\/p>\n Si perdi\u00f3 a un ser querido, es posible que pueda presentar una muerte injusta<\/a> lawsuit against the person or company that caused your loss. For example, a drunk driver may have claimed the life of your spouse or another loved one. In this situation, the drunk driver may be held accountable for your loved one’s medical bills, funeral costs and lost earnings as well as your pain and suffering, loss of companionship and other losses.<\/p>\n Depending on the cause of your injuries, it is possible that you may be able to seek workers’ compensation benefits and financial compensation by way of a personal injury lawsuit. This would apply if a third party (someone other than your employer or a co-worker) is to blame for your injuries, such as a manufacturer of a herramienta defectuosa<\/a> o pieza de equipo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"menu_order":242,"template":"","practiceareas_category":[742],"class_list":["post-5865","practiceareas","type-practiceareas","status-publish","hentry","practiceareas_category-personal-injury"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/practiceareas\/5865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/practiceareas"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/practiceareas"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/practiceareas\/5865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20758,"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/practiceareas\/5865\/revisions\/20758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"practiceareas_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/napolilaw.lemonadestand.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/practiceareas_category?post=5865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la responsabilidad? \u00bfC\u00f3mo s\u00e9 qui\u00e9n debe ser considerado responsable de mis lesiones?<\/h3>\n
