You can sue the person responsible for your crash. Filing a suit against them is only the beginning of the process. Additionally, you need to prove the other driver’s negligence and that this negligence caused your accident and damages.
To establish a case for negligence, you and your attorney will need to prove four crucial elements. You must show the defendant owed you a “duty of care,” meaning the other driver’s “duty” to you and other motorists was to drive in a safe, reasonable manner. Then, you must show that the other driver breached that duty by either failing to take action or taking incorrect action. From there, you must demonstrate that the breach caused your accident. Lastly, you need to show that as a result of your accident, you have suffered damages. An experienced attorney can help you prove all of these points.
