Negligence is the largest cause behind some of the most common accidents. From car accidents to workplace accidents. While there may be times when an accident happens from no apparent cause, more than likely someone is to blame. When that time comes, you, as the victim, have every right to pursue compensation against the negligent parties.
There is no limit to whom you can take action against. However, it is important to note that you may often have to deal with the individual’s insurance companies or legal defense teams, rather than the individuals themselves. For example, if you were involved in a car collision, conversations will more than likely take place with the other party’s insurance adjusters.
The burden of proof lies in the ability to prove that your injuries were a direct result of the accident. It must also be proven that the other party did not provide a reasonable amount of due care and thus was negligent, thus causing your injuries. For example, in a car accident, a driver who is speeding to beat a red light and causes an accident, has broken the law and placed others in danger. If a collision occurred, then that individual breached their duty to be a safe driver.
Other common cases of negligence can occur in the following cases:
Personal injury law allows for victims of negligence to be able to collect compensation for damages, including the costs of treatment, rehabilitation, lost wages, and funeral costs, should negligence have caused wrongful death of your loved one.
