    The Legal entitlement of Jorge is to sue Ionic Machines, Inc in a Civil Court for Damages

    Explanation:

    Based on the false claim for Ionic Machines, Jorge sustained injuries while using an Ionic Machine manufactured Forklift. This leads to a Civil Damage that can be claimed in a Civil Court.

    Civil Damage in a Civil Court

    A civil damage is an entitlement a civil court grants a person who suffers a loss, or an injury as a result of the wrong actions of another party. What the civil court is authorised by law to do is to consider the case of put forward by Jorge and if the other party (in this case Ionic Machines, Inc) is found guilty, the Civil court will award civil damages to Jorge which is to most times in monetary compensation to restore him back to his original condition before his injuries.

    Although it may be impossible to fully compensate the Plantiff for his loss, the award would be in form of compensation for medical bills, property destroyed and job loss among others.
