Types of Claims

We might have heard about a lot of types of claims. Here we will be discussing the three types of claims.

Claims of Fact

A fact is defined as something that has actual existence, or something that is proven to be true. A factual claim then refers to facts and details that are supported by truths. They make conclusions based on the past, present, or future conditions. It is also called an evaluative claim. Since this type of claim is based on facts, it should contain specific details about the time, the place, the situation, and the people who are involved. Arguments are provable in factual claims. An inference should not be confused with facts. An inference is an opinion or statements that are formed because of known facts.

Here are the types of factual claims:

• Factual or historical
• Relational causal relations
• Predictive

 

To prove a factual claim, the following is required:

• terms that have a clear definition
• an authority that is reliable
• recent and accurate data
• shows a clear distinction between inference and fact

Claims of Value

Values are a person’s set of standards or principles of behavior. A claim of value is used to express approval or disapproval or it also strives to prove that some event, thing, action, or condition is right or wrong. They also make value judgments, evaluations, appraisal, or resolve a conflict between values. A lot of times claim of value involves an individual’s taste in art, music, literature, film, opera, etc.

To prove a value claim the following is required:

• the advantage of one’s standards should be established
• value is prioritized in this case
• use of credible authorities
• abstract values should be clarified with examples
• a standard of evaluation should be established

Claims of Policy

This type of claim involves sub-claims about both fact and values. It provides a solution or provides additional series of questions as a reply to the claims of fact. A specific course of action is needed to decide if a policy should take place. A claim of policy is also often an organized plan.

To prove a policy claim, the following is required:

• there is a need for justification
• proposed actions should always be clear
• certain opposition or counter arguments should be considered
• there should be advantages
• there should be a workable plan

Legal Claims

What is a legal claim? A legal claim is an assertion, a demand, or a course of action that is taken by an individual who wants to get compensation, reimbursement, or payment for a loss while still under a contract. Another reason for a legal claim is for an injury that is caused by negligence. Some cases of negligence involve medical negligence because of the fact that the injury wouldn’t happen if a certain somebody was not negligent.

Legal claims are not limited to physical injuries but also psychological injuries. These psychological injuries may leave you distressed over flashbacks of a stressful past, develop panic attacks, or an accident that will lead to your loss of confidence. Please also see Sample Legal Forms.

Or maybe you have tried purchasing food that is contaminated with bugs, worms, or insects? Don’t you just find them annoying, dangerous, and disgusting? You just feel so angry about it that you feel like you have been cheated. You want the people who are responsible for those things to apologize and compensate you for it. The above situations fall under the defective products claim. The claim may be made against the manufacturer or retailer, or a combination of both.

Here are the 3 types of product liability claims:

• Products that are defectively manufactured

School Injuries

A school environment should always be kept safe for all the students, especially with younger children. This gives their parents a feeling of assurance that no harm will come to their children. Occasional scrapes and bumps are normal, but if the injury is worse than that, and they are caused by the school’s failure to provide proper care or equipment, then the parents or guardians may file a claim to seek for compensation. Medical Certificate from Doctors can be used as proof of these injuries.

Criminal Injury Claims

If you have been a victim of a criminal act and suffered either physical or psychological injury as a result, then you can file for a criminal injury claim. The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority or CICA, which is a government organization, is created to compensate the victims of crimes.

The following are examples of criminal injury claims:

Animal Attack Claims

Animals will always be animals. Although a lot of animals are trained and are accustomed to humans, there are still instances where they get agitated and hurt people. These experiences may be traumatic. Some who experience these kinds of attacks become afraid to go for walks or even go out of their houses. If you have been attacked by an animal or a family member perhaps, you may file an animal attack claim. An example of an animal attack claim is the dog attack and bite compensation claim.
