Personal Injury
Proving a Personal Injury Claim
Truck and automobile accidents can be life-altering. Many such accidents leave individuals and families with lifelong injuries that permanently impact their lives.
In order to establish liability in an accident, a victim must show that the defendant driver had a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused harm to the victim. Drivers must exercise reasonable caution. If they fail to do so, for example, by running a red light or failing to slow down in stop-and-go traffic, they breach their duty of care.
If a victim is able to demonstrate that the defendant driver’s negligence resulted in or caused the accident, victims can seek compensation. The most common forms of damages include past and future medical bills, lost wages, loss of future earning capacity, property damage, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, where there is egregious conduct, like drunk driving, punitive damages might be available as well.
