Proving Negligence in Personal Injury Claim
Personal injury claims all depend on who is at fault. In order to qualify for a personal injury claim, you must prove the following:
- The defendant owed a duty of care to you.
- The defendant did not take proper care and breached that duty.
- Any negligence that directly caused your injuries or damages
Common evidence to help support your case that may be used includes:
- Photos from the scene of the accident
- A copy the police reports
- All medical records
- Bills and receipts
- All expert testimony
- Any Witness testimony
Compensation Available to Injured Claimants
Damages are listed in two different categories:
- Actual damages: are intended to restore your life to its pre-injury state. For example, it would include the cost of paying the medical expenses or replacing a vehicle that was totaled in an accident.
- General damages: are considered compensation for non-monetary losses, including pain and suffering, mental anguish, and other more abstract conditions.
Each personal injury case will have its own set of facts and circumstances that will determine the outcome. We will build the case and determine any potential damages at Reaves Law Firm, PLLC. The following are some of the most common types of damages available in personal injury cases:
- Medical expenses: You should be paid for all medical expenses related to your accident. Including things such as doctor bills, prescriptions, and even mileage to/from doctor’s appointments.
- Cost of future medical care: Since some injuries can come with long-term complications that will require more medical care throughout your life, future medical care expenses can be estimated and included in your personal injury settlement.
- Household expenses: Your injuries may require that you make modifications to your home or your lifestyle. Damages for household expenses can cover these costs and others, such as hiring a lawn service or other workers to perform jobs that are now impossible due to your injuries.
- Lost wages: Actual wages lost for your time missed from work can be reimbursed, as well as lost future earnings if your injuries prevent you from returning to your job.
- Loss of services: Your injuries may now prevent you from performing services within your household, like picking up your children from school, cleaning the house, or cooking dinner. These damages seek to compensate the other members of your household for the loss of your services.
- Loss of consortium: This is a legal term for the loss of general companionship provided to a spouse or partner due to injuries. Physical limitations may significantly change personal relationships, and these damages compensate for the loss of intimacy that may be caused by your injuries.
