Regardless of how an injury occurs, it is necessary to prove that the defendant was negligent before compensation can be awarded. To establish negligence, the injured party must show that the defendant owed them a duty of care and breached that duty, thereby causing an otherwise avoidable accident. The duty of care owed by a motorist on a public roadway will vary greatly from that which is owed by a property owner. Furthermore, any careless, reckless, or intentional act that causes an injury could qualify as a breach of care. The third step to proving negligence is referred to as “causation.” Specifically, there must be a link between the defendant’s breach of care and any injuries that occurred for the them to be considered financially liable for the claimant’s damages. Finally, there must be evidence of compensable damages. Some common examples of compensable damages include lost wages, property damage, and hospital bills. Because personal injury cases can vary in so many different ways, it is best to consult with a lawyer in the Terre Haute area about the best course of action for obtaining compensation.
The financial burden that often comes with a serious injury can be too much for many people to bear. Unexpected medical debt, damaged personal property, and the sudden loss of income can impact the budgets of most families. The good news is that a successful injury claim could help reduce that financial strain after a serious accident.
