Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Lawsuit
Seeking sound counsel is critical for recovering damages in a personal injury lawsuit. To establish liability, you must demonstrate the following elements:
- Duty of care. First, you must establish that the defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic laws.
- Breach of duty. Next, you must prove that the defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as running a red light or failing to yield the right-of-way.
- Causation. Then, you must show that the defendant’s negligence directly caused the accident and your resulting injuries.
- Damages. Finally, you must demonstrate that you suffered compensatory harm (damages) as a result of the breach.
