Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case
Personal injury claims are usually brought under a theory of negligence.
In other words, the injured party must prove that the defendant’s
careless actions caused the accident.
To succeed in a negligence claim, the plaintiff must prove that:
- The defendant owed a duty of care
- The defendant breached that duty of care
- The defendant’s actions caused the plaintiff’s injury
- The injured party incurred actual damages
Each person has a general duty of care. The circumstances of each accident
are different, however, and the duty owed to the injured party will vary.
Because of this complex network of requirements, hiring a skilled legal
advocate who knows their way around negligence law is critical. Our team
at Holston & Huntley can help you obtain maximum compensation.
Helping You Recover from a Trucking Accident
Truck drivers owe a higher level of duty to other people on the road. They
must exercise reasonable care while operating their vehicle, and they
breach their duty of care when they engage in careless behaviors.
Examples of this might include:
- Falling asleep behind the wheel
- Violating traffic laws
- Failing to properly load cargo
- Executing dangerously wide turns
- Neglecting to apply the brakes in time to stop heavy big rigs
