Determining If You Have a Case
Some accidents are truly unavoidable and blameless. Most, however, occur only because another person, company, or entity acts without regard for the safety and well-being of others. In such cases, victims have the right to seek financial compensation for their economic and non-economic damages, such as medical expenses, future care, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Because most personal injury cases are brought on the grounds of negligence, there are several elements you will likely need to prove to establish that you have a case:
- Duty of Care: You will need to prove that the person or party against whom you are bringing the claim (known as the “defendant”) owed you a “duty of care.” This means that they had a responsibility to act within the law and/or reasonably to prevent injury or harm.
- Breach of the Duty of Care: You will also need to prove that the defendant breached the duty of care they owed you. Typically, you can prove this by showing that the defendant acted negligently or wrongfully, or that they intentionally caused you injury or harm.
- Injury: To have a personal injury case, you will need to establish that you were, in fact, injured. “Injuries” in personal injury cases can be physical, but they can also be emotional and/or financial (pain and suffering, distress, medical bills, lost income, etc.)
- Causation: Finally, to have a personal injury case, you will need to prove that the defendant’s conduct (i.e., the breach of the duty of care) was the cause of your injuries. If the two are not related, you do not have a case.
At Crowe & Harris, LLP , our New Hampshire personal injury attorneys are prepared to handle the various legal details of your claim, including determining if you have grounds for a case and who is liable for your injuries and resulting losses.
