Fierce Advocacy Backed By Experience
Types of Cases We Handle
Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case
When pursuing a personal injury claim, you will need to prove that another party was negligent and that their negligence directly caused your injuries. This can be challenging, but it is not impossible. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you gather the necessary evidence to prove liability and build a strong case on your behalf.
In order to prove liability in a personal injury case, you will need to establish the following elements:
- The at-fault party owed you a duty of care;
- The at-fault party breached this duty of care;
- The at-fault party’s breach of duty caused your injuries; and
- You suffered damages as a result of your injuries.
For example, let’s say that you were in a car accident. In order to prove liability, you will need to show that the other driver owed you a duty of care, that they breached this duty of care by speeding, that their speeding caused the accident, and that you suffered injuries and damages as a result of the accident.

What Is the Average Settlement for a Personal Injury Case?
One of the most common questions we receive from clients is, “How much is my personal injury case worth?” While we understand that this is an important question, it is also difficult to answer. The value of a personal injury case will depend on a variety of factors, including the severity of your injuries, the impact of your injuries on your daily life, your prognosis, whether or not you were partially at fault for the accident, and more.
Additionally, the value of a personal injury case will depend on the following types of damages:
- Economic damages: These are damages that have a specific dollar value, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
- Non-economic damages: These are damages that do not have a specific dollar value, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of consortium.
- Punitive damages: In some cases, a court may award punitive damages in order to punish the at-fault party and prevent similar acts of negligence from happening in the future.
When you work with our attorneys, we can help you understand what your case may be worth and how much you may be able to recover in a settlement or verdict.
