Statute of limitations
The law sets a deadline, known as the statute of limitations within which an individual who has been injured may make a claim. If you fail to meet the deadline with the statute of limitations, your claim will be "time-barred" and you will not be able to recover compensation for your losses. The details of the statute of limitation vary from state to state and each kind of case has its own time frame, as well.
The statute of limitations "clock" generally begins to tick at the time the accident or incident that caused injury occurs. There are a few exceptions to the rule, which can delay the filing of a lawsuit. One such exception is known as the discovery rule, which states that the clock for the statute of limitations cannot begin until the injury is discovered or could have been discovered. This is most commonly seen in situations where the cause is concealed, such as asbestos or certain medical malpractice claims.
A minor may also be granted an extra year to file a lawsuit, even that the statute would typically expire before turning 19. Then there is the "tolling" provision that suspends the statute of limitations during certain circumstances, such as military service or involuntary mental health commitments. In addition, there is the extension of the statute of limitations for willful concealment or fraudulent false representation.
Damages
Damages are compensation paid to the victim of a tort (wrongful act). There are two basic types of damages: compensatory and punitive. Compensation damages compensate plaintiffs for their losses and are intended to help them recover following an injury, whereas punitive damages punish a defendant for fraud, a malicious act that caused harm or reckless negligence.
The amount of damages awarded is subjective and based upon the unique facts of each case. A personal injury lawyer with years of experience will assist you in capturing the full extent of your losses. This will improve your chances of obtaining the maximum amount of compensation that you are able to. Your lawyer can call expert witnesses to describe the severity of your pain and suffering or to support your claim for emotional distress.
In order to receive the maximum amount of compensation, it is essential to document your current and future losses. Your attorney will assist you in keeping detailed records of the expenses and financial losses incurred as well as calculating the value of any future loss of income. This can be complicated and often requires making estimates based on your injury's permanent impairment or disability, which requires the assistance of experts.
If the defendant doesn't have enough insurance to cover your claims, you could be able pursue a civil lawsuit against them. This can be a challenge unless the defendant is a major company or has multiple assets.
Statute of Repose
While statutes of limitations and injury statutes of repose limit the amount of time a plaintiff must wait to file a claim for injury, there are some notable differences between the two. Statutes are procedural, forward-looking, and substantive.
A statute of repose, also known as a statute is a law that establishes a time frame after which legal action is barred - without the same limitations that a statute limitations have. It is typical for a statute of repose to apply to construction defect cases, product liability lawsuits and medical malpractice claims.
The most significant difference is that whereas the statute of limitations usually starts to run when a plaintiff suffers harm or discovers their loss, a statute of repose typically begins running when an incident triggers it. This can be a problem in product liability cases. It could take a long time before a plaintiff purchases and uses a product and the company is aware of any defects.
Due to these distinctions due to these differences, it is crucial for injury victims to consult with a personal injury attorney close to them before the applicable statutes of limitation and statutes of repose run out.

Duty of Care
A duty of care is the obligation that one has to others to exercise reasonable caution when performing actions that could lead to harm. If a person fails perform a duty of care and a person is injured because of it, this is considered to be negligence. There are a variety of situations in which a person or company is obligated to provide care to the public, for example doctors and accountants preparing taxes and store owners clearing snow and ice off the sidewalks to prevent people from falling and causing injury to themselves.
In order to successfully claim damages in a tort claim you will need to establish that the party that injured you had an obligation of care, that they breached their duty of care, and that their negligence was the direct and proximate cause of your injuries. The standard of care is generally determined by what other doctors would do in similar situations. If a surgeon makes a surgical procedure in the wrong place it could be deemed a breach of duty, since other surgeons would have be able to read the chart correctly in similar circumstances.
It is also important to remember that the standard of care can't be so high as to make it impossible to impose liability on all parties. This is a balance that is vetted by juries in jury trials, as well as judges in bench trials.
