Liability for personal injury cases will indicate who bears responsibility for paying for the losses and injuries you have sustained. While an at-fault party may constitute the primary liable party, many other parties can also face liability for your damages. Through a settlement or lawsuit, a court or insurance company will assign all parties that contributed a negligent act that resulted in your injury a percentage of fault. This will allow a victim to seek compensation for the full cost of the injuries, based on the calculation of damages and fault. Liability for personal injury cases may include one or more of the following parties: The individual at fault, An employer, A business, company, or another type of organization, A doctor or other healthcare professional, Property owner, Manufacturer or distributor of a product.
