How to Prove Negligence in Your Personal Injury Case
The purpose of personal injury law is to protect people who have been harmed by someone else's negligence. To have a successful case, you must prove that the other person or party was, in fact, negligent.
This involves establishing several key elements:
- Duty of Care: You will have to prove that the defendant owed you a “duty of care,” meaning they had some legal responsibility to engage in and/or avoid certain actions that could cause foreseeable injury.
- Breach of Duty: Next, you will have to demonstrate that the defendant failed to uphold, or “breached,” the duty of care. This usually involves proving that their conduct was careless, reckless, or unlawful.
- Causation: You will also need to prove the link between the defendant's conduct and your injuries. In other words, you'll have to show that, if not for the defendant's actions or inactions, you wouldn't have been injured.
- Damages: Lastly, you will need to prove that you suffered specific damages, or losses, as a result of your injury. These damages can be economic (like medical bills) or non-economic (like pain and suffering).
Proving these elements is critical. At Cohan PLLC, our Henderson personal injury lawyer uses powerful evidence and expert testimony to create sound legal strategies that effectively prove negligence and liability. We can help you with every aspect of your case, from gathering eyewitness statements to obtaining copies of your medical records or the police report. Our team can communicate with insurance adjusters and other parties on your behalf. Our goal is to handle everything so that you can focus on your physical and emotional recovery while we fight for the fair compensation you need to get back on your feet.
