Elements of a Successful Personal Injury Claim
A successful personal injury claim hinges on proving negligence, a legal concept that has several factors at play.
Here’s how we work to establish negligence in your case:
Duty of Care
We’ll establish that the at-fault party had a responsibility to act with reasonable care to prevent harm to others. For example, drivers have a duty to obey traffic laws, and property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises for visitors.
Breach of Duty
We’ll demonstrate how the at-fault party’s actions or inactions fell below the expected standard of care. This could involve proving instances of speeding, distracted driving, unsafe property conditions, or other negligent behavior.
Causation
We’ll prove a direct link between the at-fault party’s breach of duty and your injuries. This often involves gathering medical evidence, performing accident reconstruction analysis, and requisitioning expert testimony to establish the cause of your injuries.
Damages
It must be shown that the breach of duty directly resulted in harm to you. To this end, we’ll meticulously document all your losses, including medical expenses (past and future), lost income, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and any other losses resulting from your injuries.
By carefully collecting evidence and building a compelling legal argument, we’ll demonstrate the at-fault party’s negligence and hold them accountable for your losses. Our goal is to maximize your chances of receiving the compensation you deserve to aid in your recovery and move forward with your life.
What Can You Recover in a Personal Injury Case?
We’ll fight to recover all available compensation for your injuries, including:
- Medical Expenses: Past and future medical bills, rehabilitation costs, and other healthcare-related expenses.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for income lost due to your injuries and inability to work.
- Pain and Suffering: Damages for the physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish caused by the accident.
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life: Compensation for the diminished quality of life you may experience due to your injuries.
This is not an exhaustive list, and there are various kinds of damages you may be eligible for. To learn more, consult our Camas personal injury lawyer today.
