A tort lawyer, also known as a personal injury lawyer, prosecutes or defends acts that violate civility or involve unreasonable behavior. They specialize in researching case histories, legal statutes, and medical interpretations to seek monetary compensation for clients in cases of negligence, willful harm, or defamation. The lawyer must prove that an injury occurred and its worth in monetary damages. They may also specialize in defending those being sued for committing negligent or intentional acts.
A tort lawyer is another name for a personal injury lawyer. A personal injury or tort attorney prosecutes or defends any act that involves a violation of civility or unreasonable behavior. This failure to exercise reasonable care is referred to as a civil wrong or a “tort”. This legal specialist often acts as an authority on negligent or intentional acts that may have harmed a client. This attorney is usually a researcher who specializes in case histories, legal statutes, and medical interpretations. Many cases are settled out of court, but a tort lawyer must also be prepared to try a case in civil court in order to help a client collect money for damages, damages or losses.
A tort of negligence means that a person is wronged knowingly or unintentionally by another party. A common example of this is a fender bender car accident that involves two or more parties and where the driver of one car is at fault. A tort lawyer is also often involved in seeking redress for intentional acts, such as when one individual deliberately harms another, physically or financially. The types of defamation, i.e. slander or libel, are among the most difficult to prove because free speech issues are often involved.
To successfully represent a client in a lawsuit, the tort lawyer must be an expert legal researcher. The attorney must be very familiar with the various tort laws of the jurisdiction. Past case law and legal statutes are also crucial in proving that a precedent has been established in a case with similar facts. As physical harm is an essential component of many of these cases, the attorney must also have an extensive knowledge of medical terminology to understand the scope of a client’s injuries.
When a tort lawyer represents a client in a negligence, willful or defamatory case, the lawyer often seeks monetary compensation. Many cases are settled out of court, but others go to trial. In that case, the tort lawyer must present the facts of the case to a judge or jury to prove that there was some wrongdoing. Like many court cases, this includes writing a written complaint, interviewing witnesses, cross-examining, bringing experts together to testify, and crafting an argument on behalf of the client. The final result must prove that an injury occurred and how much it is worth in pain, loss of income, medical reimbursement or other applicable monetary damages. Torts attorneys may also specialize in defending those being sued in civil court for committing negligent or intentional acts.
