Proving Liability in Personal Injury Lawsuits
Proving liability is a tricky yet vital part of recovering compensation in any personal injury claim. Because the plaintiff bears the burden of proof in injury lawsuits, securing experienced representation is a must to build a robust case and hold negligent parties accountable.
Your lawyer can help you establish liability by proving the following elements:
- Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic laws.
- Breach of duty. The defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as running a red light or driving while impaired.
- Causation. The defendant’s negligence directly caused the accident and resulting injuries.
- Damages. You suffered compensatory harm or damages as a result of the breach.

Knowing what steps to take after a wrongful injury is essential to seeking justice and maximum compensation for your injuries.
