When to Contact a Personal Injury Lawyer After an Albany Accident

This, along with other aspects of the process, can take time to complete when building a strong case after an Albany car accident.

How to Prove Negligence in a Motor Vehicle Accident

How to Prove Negligence in a Motor Vehicle AccidentIn order to get compensation for a personal injury, you may need to establish “negligence” and liability. The negligent party is the person or entity that is at fault for the accident that resulted in your injury. In some personal injury cases, there may even be more than one party that is considered liable.

Determining negligence will always depend on the specific details of a motor vehicle crash. For instance, a motorist may be traveling lawfully on the highway when another motorist cuts them off suddenly, resulting in a collision. The motorist who made a reckless lane change could be liable for any injuries suffered by the other motorist.

A personal injury lawyer will look at four legal elements to prove a claim of negligence. These include the existence of a legal duty (such as duty of reasonable care), the breach of that duty, the existence of an injury, and proof that the breach of duty was the “proximate cause” of the injury. Your personal injury attorney can look closely at your particular case and help determine whether or not negligence can be established.
