How Do I Prove Someone Was At Fault For My Injuries?
Compensation for injuries sustained in an accident depends on successfully proving that another individual or company were responsible for your injuries due to their negligence. Negligence is proven by establishing the following elements:
Duty
Every successful injury claim requires the existence of a legal duty. The person or business who is being blamed for the injuries must have some type of duty that needed to be met. For example, drivers owe a duty of care to other drivers on the road. Duty of care for motorists include obeying all traffic laws, especially avoiding driving under the influence, and not texting and driving.
Breach of Duty
After showing there was a duty to be met, you must also show that the duty had been breached when the person being blamed for the injuries failed to exercise a reasonable amount of care.
Cause
The breach of duty must be proven to be at least a partial cause of the accident. Did the other person's failure to exercise reasonable care as a driver cause the accident?
Damages
Lastly, you must prove that damages in the form of physical pain or suffering were caused as a result of the accident. Damages also include incurred medical bills, lost wages, future medical bills, and more.
