One-satisfaction rule

Read a random definition: Marchers

A quick definition of One-satisfaction rule:

One-satisfaction rule: This means that if someone is hurt or harmed, they can only get compensation for that one time. They can't get paid twice for the same thing. If a jury gives them more than one thing, they have to choose just one. And if they already got some money for the harm, the person who hurt them can ask for the amount of money they already got to be taken out of the new payment.

A more thorough explanation:

The one-satisfaction rule is a principle that states a plaintiff should only receive one compensation for a particular injury. This means that if a jury awards multiple remedies for a single harm, the plaintiff may have to choose only one remedy. Additionally, a defendant may request to have a damage award reduced by any compensation the plaintiff has already received for the same harm.

For instance, if a person is injured in a car accident and receives compensation from the driver's insurance company, they cannot sue the driver for the same injury. If they do, the court will apply the one-satisfaction rule and only allow them to recover damages once.

Another example is if a person is injured on the job and receives workers' compensation benefits, they cannot sue their employer for the same injury. The workers' compensation benefits are considered the only compensation they can receive for that particular injury.

These examples illustrate how the one-satisfaction rule prevents a plaintiff from receiving double compensation for the same injury. It ensures that the plaintiff is only compensated once for their harm, and the defendant is not unfairly penalized for the same injury.

Tell us what's important to you
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
