A glossary of common terms helps you understand the language used in personal injury cases.
Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care, which may lead to a pedestrian injury if a driver fails to yield or follows unsafe driving practices.
Damages refer to the financial compensation sought for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from the incident.
Liability determines who is legally responsible for the crash and may include multiple parties such as drivers, vehicle owners, or municipalities depending on the circumstances.
Settlement is an agreement reached before or during court proceedings; a verdict is the court’s decision after a trial.
Common paths include settlement negotiations, mediation, or filing a civil lawsuit to pursue damages and accountability.
