Proving Liability in Your Personal Injury Case
To have a personal injury case, you must prove that the person or party against whom you are bringing the claim (known as the defendant) is responsible, or liable, for your injuries and resulting damages. Often, this involves proving that the defendant acted negligently or wrongfully in some way.
To prove liability, you will typically need to prove the following:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care, meaning they had a legal responsibility to act in a certain manner or avoid certain actions that could cause foreseeable injury
- The defendant failed to uphold this duty of care, typically by acting negligently, carelessly, recklessly, wrongfully, or even intentionally
- You were actually injured and suffered measurable damages, or economic and/or non-economic losses related to your injury
- The defendant’s negligent or wrongful actions or inactions were the direct or proximate cause of your injury and resulting damages
Note that, because Pennsylvania is a no-fault car accident state, you do not necessarily need to prove that another driver was liable to receive compensation following an auto accident. However, if you wish to go outside the no-fault system and pursue a third-party claim against a negligent motorist, you will need to prove that he or she is liable for your damages, as well as meet other requirements.
Regardless of the type of case you have or its complexity, you can rely on the Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George team to help you understand your rights and legal options. We conduct exhaustive investigations with the help of industry experts, such as accident reconstructionists and medical professionals, to identify exactly what happened and who is liable for our clients’ damages. Armed with this information, we develop powerful cases and aggressively pursue maximum compensation, including full and fair recovery for our clients’ medical expenses, future care costs, lost income, lost earning ability, pain and suffering, diminished quality of life, and more.
