Despite the general tendency for a decline in fatalities over the past 15 years, auto accidents remain the leading cause of injuries in the United States.
Irvine, CA - February 17, 2021 /MarketersMedia/ —
Most of the civil litigation in the country is caused by personal injury lawsuits, which makes sense considering just how many accidents happen while driving, at work, or at home. Such tragedies are often accompanied by income loss, stress, serious injuries or even death.
“Personal injuries incurred through the careless, negligent, or reckless actions of others can severely disrupt the lives or livelihoods of the people affected and their families,” comments acclaimed California-based attorney Joseph Cavallo. “While litigation and financial redress cannot truly compensate for any damage to health or a tragic loss, they are nevertheless legal system mechanisms that should be exploited to the fullest to hold the responsible parties accountable and discourage harmful behaviors. According to government data, the largest number of personal injury cases in the United States are related to motor vehicle accidents, medical malpractice, and defective products, collectively accounting for over 70% of such lawsuits.”
Despite the general tendency for a decline in fatalities over the past 15 years, auto accidents remain the leading cause of injuries in the United States: the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that they “send more than 2.3 million people to hospital emergency departments every year.” The agency also points out that “motor vehicle crash deaths cost the nation $44 billion in medical expenses and work loss costs” annually. According to the US Department of Justice, 52% of personal injury lawsuits stem from motor vehicle accidents, and these are also the cases where the plaintiffs have the strongest chances of winning (61% success rate), Joseph Cavallo notes. Unfortunately, only 19% of trials conclude with a positive outcome for the injured party in medical malpractice lawsuits although these rank at number two with a 15% share of litigation. On the other hand, plaintiffs in such cases tend to receive substantial compensation when they win the court battle, the average amount being $679,000. The highest average compensation ($748,000) is awarded in product liability cases, which account for 5% of personal injury lawsuits.
Aside from these most common causes of litigation, citizens can file claims in a variety of situations where the actions of another person or entity result in physical, mental, or reputational injury, Joseph Cavallo explains. The so-called intentional torts include wrongful acts such as assault, battery, and false arrest or imprisonment. Motor vehicle accidents and medical malpractice constitute negligent torts, a category that also covers premises liability, where personal injury claims can arise from slips and falls or hazardous conditions. Strict liability torts, as exemplified by product liability, can vary across jurisdictions, and in some states, the law treats dog bites as cause for seeking damages even though negligence is not a factor.
Joseph Cavallo has received acclaim primarily for his criminal defense work although he has also achieved great success in the areas of business litigation and personal injury claims. Often cited as an attorney favoring aggressive defense tactics and a forceful style, the California-based professional invariably receives praise from his clients for his complete dedication to securing justice on their behalf. Outside of work, Joseph Cavallo is an advocate for abused women and bullied children, his volunteer contributions including the creation of “Adopt the Elderly” – an initiative aimed at building a friendship network for senior citizens.
