How Do You Prove Negligence?

Southside Injury Law provides a vigorous defense of your rights in order to obtain a solid personal injury claim. In order to prove negligence, the facts must show that another party is responsible for your accident injury.

There Are Four Elements Involved In Proving Negligence In A Georgia Personal Injury Claim

The Duty Of Care

Did the person or company owe you a duty of care? Here are some examples of what Duty Of Care consists of:

• Any driver on the road has a duty to operate their vehicle safely so as not to cause injury or harm to other drivers or pedestrians.
• Companies must ensure that their products are safe to consume, safe to operate and safe to handle.
• Shopping malls, retail stores or storefronts have an obligation to ensure that they do not have hazardous conditions such as wet floors, cracked sidewalks, etc.
• Medical Staff including, nurses, doctors, patient assistants, and medical assistants have a duty to provide quality and safe care to their patients.

Was The Duty Of Care Breached?

If a Duty Of Care was owed to you, was that Duty Of Care then breached? Here are some examples of Breached Duty Of Care in Motor Vehicle Injury Claims:

• Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medical prescription drugs not intended for use while operating a motor vehicle.
• Failure to obey traffic rules and regulations including, speeding, reckless driving, running a red light, running a stop sign, not yielding when necessary, etc.
• Distracted while driving due to texting, changing the station, food consumption, etc.

For product liability injury claims:

• Defective Product Manufacturing – the product in question has a defect which may include, poor or inadequate assembly, inadequate or poor materials.
• Product Design defect – A flaw in the design of the product which ultimately makes it dangerous for the user.
• Failure to recall a defective product or warn the public – the manufacturer was either aware o or should have been aware of the product’s risk and did not take action in order to warn the consumer as to the risks.

In the case of medical malpractice/or wrongful death claims:

• A medical doctor or nurse practitioner provides you with the wrong prescription, incorrectly diagnoses you, operates on the wrong organ or body part, did not provide care in a timely manner, etc.

Is The Breach The Direct Cause Of Your Injury or Injuries?

In order to show that the breach was the direct cause of your injury, you must show that the negligent actions of the person/party directly resulted in your injury.

What are some examples:

• A Driver impaired by prescription medication was drowsy behind the wheel and slammed into your vehicle or person causing your injury.
• A company manufactured your tires and they exploded while you were driving thereby causing you to be injured.
• While getting food at a retailer, you slip and fall as a result of a spill that was not cleaned up causing you to be injured.

Examples:

• Any Hospital, Doctors and Medical Specialist bills for treatments of your injury or injuries.

• Records of any out-of-pocket costs related to your medical expenses that include prescription drugs, transportation and travel fees etc.

We Negotiate On Your Behalf

Insurance companies will attempt to settle a case as quickly as possible. That may sound good to you in the short-term however, these settlements are often for less than the injury allows so it is important to defer to your attorney for the best possible outcome and settlement. Don’t sell yourself short as the full nature and extent of your injuries is often not known until long after the incident has occurred. Give yourself time to go through the medical and recovery process and learn how your injury may impact your future before accepting less than you may be entitled to.
