How Do You Prove Negligence in a Truck Accident?
When you are involved in a truck accident or other personal injury claim, it is essential to prove the responsible party’s liability. Four key elements should be presented efficiently and effectively during your claims, and these are the following:
Duty of Care
All vehicle motorists owe a duty of care to other drivers and themselves. Many of these duties are outlined in the law, including following the speed limit and posted traffic signs. Following these laws reduces the severe risk of injuries, allowing others to stay safe and reach their destinations on time.
Breach of Duty of Care
When the duty of care you owe is breached, this is called negligence. If someone has acted negligently, there is a much higher risk of severe injuries and financial losses. For example, a truck driver going far faster than the speed limit puts others at serious risk of a collision and dangerous circumstances. You may benefit from collecting evidence that displays this breach in duty of care.
Injuries Due to Breach
If the other party’s negligence directly relates to your injuries, you are one step closer to winning compensation for your claims. Just because another person was negligent at the time does not necessarily mean you can receive compensation, as they must breach their duty of care in a way that directly impacts your safety. You can often prove a connection between the accident and your injuries with a medical bill dated shortly after the event.
Economic Losses
While you can eventually receive compensation for non-economic losses in your truck accident claims, you will not qualify for this recovery without objective monetary damages. Economic losses often include medical bills, property damage, time taken off work, and changes in wage-earning potential.
