What Do I Have to Prove to Win My Personal Injury Case?
To recover compensation for a personal injury claim, you must be able to prove the following four legal elements:
- Duty of care: The defendant must have owed you a duty of care. For example, property owners owe a duty to keep their properties in a safe condition. Motorists have a duty to follow traffic rules and avoid injuring others.
- Breach of duty: The defendant breached the duty of care. For example, a property owner may have failed to warn you about a dangerous condition on the property. A motorist may have been speeding, texting and driving, or drinking and driving.
- Causation: The defendant’s breach actually and legally caused the accident. For example, you wouldn’t have been injured on the property if not for the owner’s failure to warn you or the motorist’s speeding.
- Damages: You suffered damages as a result of the accident, such as medical expenses, lost income, or pain and suffering.
Our experienced Lawrence personal injury lawyers can review your case and explain the evidence we can assemble to build your claim.
Tips for Maximizing Your Personal Injury Claim
Personal injury claims aim to secure compensation for accident victims that put them back in the position they were in before the accident. Some of the ways that you may be able to maximize your compensation include the following:
- Report the accident – This creates a written document showing the accident happened so the defendant or their insurance company can’t deny its occurrence.
- Seek medical attention – Your health is paramount, as is your ability to show you took your injuries seriously. Keep all your medical records to help support your legal claim.
- Keep detailed records – Keep all records of your accident-related losses to support your claim for maximum compensation.
- Hire an experienced attorney – You don’t have to deal with the hassle and frustration of a personal injury claim alone. Contact us today for a free case review.
- Don’t accept the first offer – Insurance companies may make you a fast first offer, hoping you’ll take it before you learn the true value of your claim. This offer is hardly ever the best.
