Proving Liability After a Car Accident

When a car accident occurs, you may be left feeling unsure of what your next steps should be. While your main priority should be to recover from the harm you have suffered, when you retain the help of one of our trusted car accident lawyers, our first step will be to identify the at-fault party and prove their liability. 

Depending on the details of your car accident case, there are various parties who may be found liable for your crash. Once our legal team has identified the party that is at fault for your crash, the next step is to prove their liability. To prove their liability, we will launch a full investigation into your case and collect evidence of the four factors of negligence. The four factors of negligence in a car accident case are as follows:

• The liable party owed you a duty of care
• The duty of care was breached
• The breach of duty led to your car accident and subsequent injuries
• You suffered a loss as a result

Providing liability is not only important to the overall success of your car accident claim as you pursue justice, but it is also a crucial step in ensuring that the party who is at fault for the crash that caused your harm is held responsible for their negligent actions. 

Can You Collect Damages After a Car Accident?

After a car accident, you will likely incur costly expenses in the aftermath of the losses you have suffered. You should not have to pay for injuries you did not cause. That is why it is important that you file a car accident claim with the help of one of our trusted lawyers to ensure you understand what damages you may be eligible for and can calculate how much you can expect to recover. 

The damages you may be eligible to recover following a car accident are as follows:

• Medical expenses: If you were injured in a car accident, it is generally the case that you will require medical attention to recover from any injuries you have suffered. Victims of car accidents should be compensated for the medical expenses incurred due to the negligent party’s actions.

• Pain and suffering: You should be compensated for the physical and emotional pain and suffering you have had to endure as a result of the negligent party’s actions that caused the car crash.
• Punitive damages: Depending on the details of your case, our skilled lawyers may be able to help you pursue punitive damages.  
• Disability and disfigurement: If you now suffer from a permanent injury caused by the crash, our firm can help document and pursue these damages. 

When filing a car accident claim, the insurance providers will often offer an initial low offer. However, we believe that you deserve fair compensation for your injuries. That is why we will negotiate with the insurance company to ensure you are able to get the maximum possible amount for your car accident case.
