Do I Have Grounds to File a Lawsuit?
The mere act of sustaining an injury isn’t enough to recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit. Because the burden of proof rests with the plaintiff in personal injury cases, working with a qualified attorney is crucial to seek compensation, as they can help fortify your case with relevant evidence and protect your rights while negotiating with insurance companies and other involved parties.
To successfully recover damages in a personal injury lawsuit, plaintiffs must establish certain key elements, including:
- You must prove that the defendant owed you a duty of care.
- You must show that the defendant violated that duty by acting negligently.
- You must establish that the defendant’s negligence directly caused your injuries.
- You must show that the negligence resulted in harm (damages).
