Civil litigation is an area of law that involves individuals and/or corporations.  Civil Law matters are usually handled in courts through the issuance of torts or lawsuits.  In most civil litigation cases, a tort or claim is issued by one party against another party for injuries incurred as a result of negligence.  According to the law, a person can be considered negligent if he/she failed to act in a normal manner or if he/she failed to exercise cautious behavior.

Often times, a person’s negligent behavior can cause a third party to sustain physical, mental, and emotional injuries.  Injuries are often incurred from motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, and defective products.  In most cases, these accidents or mishaps result from a person or company’s negligent behavior.

When a person is injured due to third party negligence, he/she can seek certain damages from the third party by filing a personal injury lawsuit.  These damages can cover things such as the injured person’s medical bills, future medical treatment, lost wages, loss of income earning ability, property damage, and pain and suffering.    

Los Angeles Wrongful Death Claim
If a person is wrongfully killed due to the negligence of a third party, the deceased person’s family can seek damages from the third party by filing a wrongful death claim.  A wrongful death claim allows the family of the wrongful death victim to recover damages for things such as the deceased one’s medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of support, emotional anguish, and grief.
