The Four Elements of Establishing Liability in a T-Bone Accident
You can receive compensation for your losses in personal injury claims, including car accidents and T-bone crashes. However, you must demonstrate liability to receive this financial recovery. This process becomes far more manageable if you confirm that four elements are true during your case.
Duty of Care
Duty of care is the responsibility all individuals owe to each other to maintain safety for those around them. For example, all vehicle drivers have the duty of care to maintain their car’s safety and ability to drive safely, follow traffic laws, and drive within the speed limit. By following these best practices, everyone on the road is far more likely to reach their destinations safely.
Negligence
Negligence is behavior surrounding a breach of duty of care. When someone fails to follow the duty of care to the proper standards, there is a greater risk of serious injuries or death. For example, when someone runs through a red light, they are more likely to accidentally run into the side of another car crossing the intersection. To prove negligence, you may need to collect and demonstrate evidence proving that one individual or certain parties were negligent.
Connected Injuries
If you face injuries due to another person’s negligence, you must make an objective connection to the individual’s actions. Typically, you can connect your injuries to a particular incident by seeking medical attention as soon as possible. Medical bills or other reports will generally be timestamped, and providing information produced shortly after the incident is often enough to establish a connection.
Economic Damages
While you can also receive compensation for damages without objective monetary value, you first must demonstrate you have suffered economic losses. Economic losses generally include medical bills, attorney fees, wage loss, time taken off work, and property damage.
