A workplace injury is harm that occurs on the job and may trigger workers’ compensation and related third‑party claims, while a catastrophic injury refers to severe, life‑altering harm with lasting consequences.
Key elements include medical documentation, witness statements, evidence of fault, damages for medical care and lost income, and a clear plan for pursuing your claim.
This glossary page defines common terms you’ll see in injury cases and explains how the elements come together to form your claim.
Negligence: Failure to exercise reasonable care, which may be required to prove fault in a personal injury case.
Liability refers to legal responsibility for injuries caused by fault, breach of duty, or other parties who may be liable.
Damages are the financial compensation sought or awarded for injuries, including medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Statutes of Limitations are the deadlines by which you must file a claim; missing them can bar your right to sue.
Depending on your case, you may pursue a workers’ compensation claim, a third‑party personal injury claim, or a combination of both with careful coordination of benefits and timelines.
