Por qué la negligencia es importante para su reclamo por lesiones

Las lesiones personales cubren una amplia gama de reclamaciones y casos. Es probable que sea una de las áreas más grandes del derecho civil en los EE. UU. Si ocurre una lesión por cualquier motivo como resultado de la acción o inacción de otra persona, cae bajo el paraguas de lesiones personales; como resultado, es un área de práctica bastante flexible.


Por ejemplo, la firma de FVF, LLP cubre los siguientes casos de lesiones personales:


Estos ni siquiera cubren todos los casos de lesiones personales que representamos. En última instancia, nuestro trabajo es investigar si un individuo u organización falló o no en su “deber de cuidado”. Esto es lo que la ley quiere decir con “negligencia”: no ejercer una acción responsable. La negligencia es la Fundación de toda práctica de lesiones personales: sin el principio de negligencia, nadie podría ser declarado culpable de mala conducta en el derecho civil cuando se trata de lesiones o muerte.

¿Qué es el “deber de cuidado”?

Esencialmente, todas las personas en todas partes son responsables de cierto deber de cuidado, como se mencionó anteriormente. Lo que esto significa es que todos—en algún nivel— es responsable de la seguridad y el bienestar de quienes los rodean, en diversos grados. Esto incluye a los dueños de perros, administradores de propiedades, conductores e incluso ciclistas. Cuando alguien resulta herido o muere, las personas/empresas relevantes son examinadas por su parte en la lesión.

Ciertos grupos de personas se adhieren a diferentes niveles de responsabilidad, y si no cumplen con ese estándar, la ley los encontrará negligentes. Los estándares profesionales se establecen con el fin de aclarar, en la medida de lo posible, cuándo una persona es negligente versus cuándo está actuando razonablemente. Estos estándares pueden ayudar a distinguir entre circunstancias incontrolables y personas incompetentes, o actos de Dios frente a acciones imprudentes.

Por ejemplo, los médicos a menudo tienen que cumplir con los más altos estándares de atención porque brindan servicios de tratamiento de manera explícita. Si alguien sufre daños bajo su cuidado porque actuó de una manera que un médico no debería, la ley los hará responsables. Las empresas de camiones, de manera similar, deben asegurarse de que sus conductores estén seguros y descansados para evitar accidentes; esto demuestra que las partes que son indirectamente responsables aún pueden rendir cuentas.

Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre la ley de lesiones personales o quién podría ser responsable de su dolor y sufrimiento, póngase en contacto con FVF, LLP hoy dia.
