We Will Get to Work to Identify the at-Fault Party and Establish Liability

Attempts to recover compensation after a car accident falls under the realm of personal injury law. Under this branch of law, we must establish negligence to collect damages from the at-fault or liable party.

Toward this end, our legal team will work to collect evidence that establishes the following four elements of negligence:

• Duty of care: We must establish that the defendant had a duty of care to take reasonable steps to prevent you from suffering an injury.
• Breach of duty: Next, we must show that the defendant breached their duty of care.
• Causation: Once we establish how the defendant breached their duty of care, we must establish the direct correlation between the breach and the car accident.
• Damages: Once we show how the defendant’s actions or inactions caused the accident, we must then establish that you sustained physical, emotional, and economic injuries due to the car accident.

By establishing the above arguments, we will build a compelling case of personal injury.

When a Case Involves Multiple Liable Parties

If your car accident case involves more than one liable party, we will discuss whether it is viable or  prudent to pursue  the additional legal action against other parties besides the at-fault party.

A common example of more than one liable party involved in a case is when the at-fault party is working at the time of the accident, such as a taxi driver. Their employer, the taxi company, could be held vicariously liable for their actions, which would enable you to take action against them.

Other types of liable parties include:

• A vehicle or parts manufacturer
• A maintenance worker or company
• A municipality
• A construction company
• A third-party driver who also contributed to the cause of the accident

Our Team Will Determine the Value of Your Case

There is significant  risk in working directly, that is, without the benefit of experienced, dedicated car accident lawyers advocating on your with insurance companies to receive compensation for your injuries, which often results in leaving money on the table. Many plaintiffs are unaware of the value of their case because they might not be aware of all the damages that entitle them to compensation, so they risk undervaluing how much compensation to demand.

Our team knows how to calculate the damages you need to recover from the defendant to get your life as close to its pre-accident state as possible. Although every case is different, you might be able to recover the following types of damages in your car accident:

• Current medical expenses
• Ongoing and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and benefits
• Diminished future potential earnings
• Property damage costs, such as to repair or replace your vehicle
• Diminished quality of life
• Pain and suffering
• Mental anguish
• Out-of-pocket expenses such as home care or childcare if your injuries prevent you from fulfilling these tasks

Other damages not listed here might also be part of your compensation total.
