Proving Negligence

In any personal injury case, you will need to prove that the other party was at fault. In most cases, this means that you will need to prove that their negligence caused the accident that led to your injuries. A person is negligent when they fail to act with the standard of care that an ordinary person would in the same situation. While it is sometimes obvious that the other party was negligent, it isn’t always easy to prove. Here are some common examples of negligence that result in accidents:

• Reckless or careless driving
• Distracted driving, such as using a cell phone while driving
• Failing to maintain your property in a safe condition
• Failing to implement safety measures required by law
• Performing a medical procedure without adequate training or preparation

Proving negligence will depend on the specific facts in your case. An experienced personal injury attorney will be able to identify those facts that help you prove your claim.

What Your Case May Be Worth

If you can prove that the other party’s negligence caused your injury, then you may be able to pursue a monetary claim for your injuries. You may be able to pursue compensation for the following:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Property damage
• Transportation costs
• Pain and suffering
• Loss of consortium

The law entitles you to be made whole after your accident. In order to prevail on your claim, you need to carefully document all of your losses. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you collect the evidence you need to get the compensation you are entitled to.
