Personal Injury Cases

Motor vehicle operators owe others on the road the duty of care to operate their vehicles in a reasonably safe manner. Furthermore, to avoid being guilty of negligence, vehicle drivers must refrain from hazardous activities like distracted driving or speeding.  Similarly, property owners are under a legal duty to keep their premises in a reasonably safe condition and to make efforts to warn people of any hazards the proprietor knows about or should have known about through performing a reasonable inspection. If you are alleging negligence, you have to prove that the individual or entity you are suing didn’t live up to that specific duty of care. Therefore, your legal counsel must show that there was a duty and then explain the way in which it was breached. 

A well-versed personal injury attorney can make the appropriate arguments on your behalf. They will investigate your situation, collecting police reports, witness testimony, and other evidence. Accident reconstruction evidence is often crucial in proving negligence in motor vehicle cases. This includes observations from people who witness an injury-related accident, such as a slip and fall on a slick floor in a drug store aisle. It also includes testimony from employees or other customers who can give evidence about the floor’s condition before that accident. Your personal injury attorney understands that this kind of accident evidence can go a long way in premises liability cases.
