The vehicle’s speed determination can be both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative is typically subjective and involves personal observations of witnesses or participants. Quantitative determination, on other hand, involves determination of precise number of range. This can be made in two ways. The first one is direct measurement and second is application of laws of physics to physical evidence of collisions. Quantitative method though, has its limitations. Often there is limited physical data on pre-impact action or post-impact movements. As a consequence, it is often necessary to combine quantitative physical evidence and qualitative observations of participants regarding actions and movement.

The bottom line here is that in all vehicular accidents, no matter how minor damage, individual injured should seek medical attendance for examination or consultation so that he will know if there is grave damage and for doctors to give him medication or treatment.

Tort law is a branch of civil law. This is one of three main branches of civil law where other branches are contract and property law. In tort cases, plaintiff is victim of an alleged wrong and unsuccessful defendant is directed by court to pay damages to plaintiff. The so-called injunctive relief for defendant is when he is directed to discontinue from a wrongful activity.

Torts have three general categories. Intentional torts are wrongs which defendant knew or should have known would happen through their actions or inactions (e.g. intentionally hurting a person). Negligent torts happen when defendant’s actions were unreasonably unsafe (e.g. causing accident by failing to obey traffic rules). Strict liability torts are wrongs that do not depend on degree of carefulness by defendant but established when a particular action causes damage (e.g. liability for selling expired products).

Misfortune may happen unexpectedly to you or anyone in your family and when it does, a you, as a victim may incur costs. You can shift these costs to others who you believed has strict liability in causing it. The principles of tort law help you in getting compensation for damages suffered not by your own fault.
