Statute of Limitations
The law sets a timeframe, known as the statute of limitations, within which an injured person can make a claim. Failure to comply with this deadline will result in the claim being "time barred" and the party who was injured will not be able get compensation for their losses. The time-limit for claims varies from state to state, and also depending on the type of case.
The "clock" of the statute of limitations usually starts ticking when the accident or lawsuits incident which caused the injury occurs. However, there are some exceptions that can extend the time required to file lawsuits. One of these exceptions is known as the discovery rule, which states that the statute of limitations clock is not set until the injury is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered. This is typically seen in situations where the cause is hidden, such as asbestos or certain medical malpractice claims.
Another exception applies to minors, who have one year from their 18th birthday when they can initiate lawsuits, even when the statute of limitations will normally expire before they reach the age of 19. There is also the "tolling" provision, which suspends the statute of limitations for certain situations or events such as military service, or involuntary mental health obligations. The statute of limitations may be extended for fraudulent misrepresentation or intentional concealment.
Damages
Damages are compensation that is paid to the victim following an act of wrongdoing or tort. There are two main types of damages: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages are intended to compensate plaintiffs and make them whole after an injury. Punitive damages are intended to penalize defendants for fraud, malicious actions that cause harm, or gross negligence.
The amount of damages awarded is highly subjective and based upon the particular facts of each case. A seasoned personal injury lawyer can assist you in documenting the totality of your losses. This will increase your chances of obtaining the largest amount possible. For instance the lawyer might use expert witnesses to testify on the extent of your pain and suffering and psychologist or psychiatrist expert witness to bolster your claim for emotional distress.
To receive the most compensation, it is essential to document your losses now and in the future. Your lawyer will assist with keeping detailed reports of the costs and financial losses that you incur, as well as calculating the amount of future lost income. Experts are often needed to calculate estimates based on the permanent impairment or disability caused by your injury.
If the defendant does not have enough insurance to cover your claims, you might be able to seek a civil lawsuit against them. However, this could be very difficult unless the defendant is a large asset or is a corporation with multiple assets.
Statute of Repose
While statutes of limitations and statutes of repose limit the amount of time a plaintiff can have to file a claim for injury however, there are some significant distinctions between the two. Statutes are procedural, forward-looking and substantive.
In essence it's a simple definition: a statute of repose is a law that sets an absolute deadline within which legal actions are barred- without the same exceptions as a statute of limitation. It is common for a statute of repose to be applied to construction defect cases, product liability lawsuits, and medical malpractice claims.
The main difference is that while a statute of limitations typically is in effect when the plaintiff is injured or learns of their loss the statute of repose typically begins running when an event triggers it. This can be an issue in product liability cases, for example, since it could take years for a plaintiff to purchase and use a product, even before the company is aware of any flaws.
Because of these differences and the fact that there are a variety of different laws, it is important for injured victims to speak with a personal injury lawyer near them before the applicable statutes of limitation and repose statutes run out.

Duty of Care
A duty of care is the obligation one owes to others to exercise reasonable care when doing things that could result in harm. If a person fails fulfill a duty of care and someone is injured because of it, this is considered to be a case of negligence. A company or person has an obligation of care towards the public in a variety of situations. This includes doctors preparing tax returns, accountants who prepare tax returns, and store owners clearing snow off the sidewalks so that people don't fall and harm themselves.
To be able to claim damages in a negligence claim, you must prove that the person who injured you was in a duty of duty and acted in breach of this duty duty and that their negligence caused your injury. The norm of care is usually established by what other medical professionals would do in similar situations. For instance the case where a physician performs surgery on the wrong leg, it may be deemed a breach of obligation because other surgeons in similar circumstances will likely examine the patient's chart in a correct manner.
It is also important to keep in mind that the standard of care can't be so high that it will make it impossible to impose liability on all parties. It is a balance which is vetted by juries in jury trials and judges in bench trials.
