Personal Injury Lawyers 317-881-2700<\/p><\/div>When a person is injured in an accident, and suffers serious injury or mental trauma, it is important to decide who is at fault for the incident. This is called comparative fault analysis and is widely used as a guide in personal injury cases. It is the report given by the jury, to the judge at the closing of a personal injury trial. Basically, if a victim or plaintiff is 49% (or less) at-fault, then they are most likely entitled to basic remuneration. If they plaintiff is 50% at-fault, or greater, then there is no chance for recovery. <\/p>\n
An accident that causes a person serious injury or harm must be caused from another\u2019s negligence or carelessness. This could be a person, company, or manufacturer. The most common negligent personal injury cases include drunk driving accidents, slip and falls, dog bites, assault, medical malpractice, product liability, motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, and sexual harassment.

Personal Injury Lawsuits and Settlements<\/h1>\n
Comparative fault analysis simply describes the standard formula used to identify the negligent party involved in a personal injury accident<\/a>. There are details that go into making these distinctions. For example, if a person was injured as a result of their own negligence, they will not be awarded compensation for their damages. This can happen if a person slips and falls in a grocery store, on a rainy day, even when there are \u201cwet floor\u201d signs placed throughout the premises. This person would not be considered a victim of a negligent accident. On the other hand, if it were a sunny day and no \u201cCaution: Wet Floor\u201d signs are posted even though there is a puddle or spill, the grocery store is accountable for that person\u2019s damages if they are injured as a result of the wet spot. <\/p>\n Another example involves motor vehicle accidents. If a pedestrian, passenger, or driver is injured as a result of a drunk driver, they are considered victims using the comparative fault analysis formula; however, if a person was not obeying traffic signals or street signs, and is hit by another driver, they will most likely be held responsible for their own damages because they were the negligent party in the accident. All of these perspectives must be considered in order to properly determine which person is at-fault in a personal injury lawsuit. The same idea is applied for workplace accidents. If an employee is injured at work or while performing work-related duties, they are entitled to compensation for their damages; however, on the other hand if that employee was injured as a result of their own negligence (i.e. improper use of company equipment, not wearing proper safety gear, etc.), they are accountable for the incident. <\/p>\n Indianapolis Personal Injury Lawyers 317-881-2700<\/p><\/div>Call 317-881-2700 and speak with a knowledgeable and licensed personal injury attorney in Indianapolis, Indiana<\/strong> today.
