Proving Liability After Your Child Was Injured
To seek compensation in a Texas personal injury case, your lawyer will need to prove that another party caused your injuries through negligence. The party responsible for causing your losses through such actions is then considered liable for your injuries and losses.
Proving liability is one of the first steps your lawyer will take to help support your claim. Your lawyer may prove liability in your child injury claim in the following ways:
Gathering Evidence
Gathering evidence is one way to prove liability in a child injury case. Some examples of common evidence used in child injury cases include the following:
- Photos that capture the accident scene, any visible injuries on your child, property damage, or hazardous conditions that contributed to your child’s harm
- Contact information from possible witnesses
- Any objects or equipment that contributed to the accident, if you can keep them
- Copies of medical reports, medical bills, prescriptions, or any other documentation related to your child’s treatment and recovery as it relates to the injuries they suffered due to the negligence of the liable party
Your lawyer can advise you specifically on what evidence may be beneficial to your specific claim.
Utilizing Evidence To Prove The Four Elements Of Negligence
When proving liability, your lawyer will need to provide evidence of the four elements of negligence. These elements are as follows:
- The duty of care the liable party owed your child
- The breach of that duty of care
- The causation of the subsequent injury
- The damages and losses you and your child suffered
A lawyer will ensure you fully understand these elements and how they can affect your child injury claim.
Proving Causation
Proving causation in a child injury claim means demonstrating the direct link between the at-fault party’s breach of duty and your child’s injuries. Additionally, proving causation also entails showing that the breach of duty was the primary cause of your child’s injuries. A trusted personal injury attorney can help you establish causation by securing evidence.
