People in Downington, Pennsylvania who are injured because of the actions of others may be entitled to recover compensation by filing personal injury lawsuits. Personal injury claims are covered by the state’s tort laws, which are civil laws that deal with civil wrongdoing. Unlike criminal cases, personal injury cases seek monetary damages and do not involve any potential losses of liberty. Because of this, the burden of proof in civil tort claims is lower than it is for criminal cases. When a person files a personal injury claim for injuries caused by the wrongful actions of others, he or she may recover damages even if the defendant is found to be not guilty in a criminal case for the same alleged conduct. This might allow victims to hold the defendants accountable for their actions while recovering damages for the losses that the victims have suffered.
