How To Prove Negligence in a Fernley Personal Injury Case
Most personal injury claims are based on the legal theory of negligence. To succeed in a negligence-based claim, you must establish that four elements exist:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care. For example, all drivers owe a duty of care to drive safely and avoid harming others.
- The defendant breached their duty of care. If a driver was distracted and ran a red light, crashing into you, they have breached their duty of care to you.
- The defendant’s breach of duty was the cause of your accident. It is not enough that the defendant was driving distracted. Their breach must be the cause of the accident and your damages.
- You suffered damages caused by the defendant’s breach of duty. You must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty resulted in damages to you.
These four elements may seem straightforward. However, they can be challenging to prove and are often aggressively disputed. At Benson & Bingham, our Fernley personal injury lawyers have a deep understanding of injury law and know how to build your strongest claim and help you recover the full value of your case.
Understanding What Your Claim Is Worth
No personal injury attorney can guarantee that you will recover a specific amount of compensation. However, once our Fernley personal injury lawyer has carefully evaluated your case, we will provide you with an estimate of what we believe would be a fair settlement for your claim.
In a successful personal injury case, you can recover economic damages such as current and future medical expenses, lost wages, property damages, and other financial losses. You could also recover non-economic damages such as pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, and other intangible losses.
In rare cases, you may be awarded punitive damages in addition to your economic and non-economic damages. At Benson & Bingham, we will aggressively pursue every dollar you are entitled to.
How a Fernley Personal Injury Lawyer Helps You
An experienced Fernley personal injury lawyer will investigate the accident or incident that caused your injuries to determine all contributing factors and liable parties to help maximize your compensation. They will take swift action to preserve vital evidence and conduct a comprehensive discovery to uncover the facts to build your best case.
Your attorney can establish and accurately value all your current and future economic and non-economic damages so you know what you claim is worth and then negotiate with the insurance companies to resolve your claim as quickly as possible. When a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney can take your case to trial to recover the compensation you are entitled to.
