Dealing with a personal injury claim can be stressful, but an attorney will handle the legal complexities and communication with insurance companies, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
Negligence is a key part of proving liability in most personal injury claims. It helps establish who is at fault and holds the responsible party accountable for damages. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must demonstrate four key elements:
The defendant must have owed a legal duty to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care. This duty can arise from various factors, such as a contractual relationship, a specific legal obligation, or the general duty to avoid causing harm to others (i.e., a driver has a duty to drive carefully to avoid injuring others).
The defendant must have breached their duty of care by acting in a way that a reasonably prudent person would not have or failing to act. This breach can involve violating a specific law or standard of care or failing to take necessary precautions to prevent foreseeable harm.
The defendant’s breach of duty must also be the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injuries or damages. As a result of the defendant’s negligence, the plaintiff must have suffered actual harm or damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Personal injury claims involve deadlines for filing lawsuits, procedures for gathering evidence, and potential court proceedings. These legal processes can be time-consuming and require legal expertise to navigate successfully. Insurance companies often play a significant role in personal injury claims, and their investigation and negotiation tactics can add to the complexity.
These companies may attempt to minimize liability or settlement amounts, leading to protracted negotiations. Another key hurdle is establishing that the defendant was negligent or at fault for causing the injury. This might involve gathering evidence like accident reports, witness statements, and expert opinions.
If there are multiple parties involved, determining which one bears responsibility can be especially complex.
