Proving Negligence in Personal Injury Cases
Establishing negligence is crucial in personal injury cases. This involves demonstrating that:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care
- The defendant breached this duty
- This breach caused your injuries
- You suffered damages as a result
Our experienced attorneys know how to gather and present evidence effectively to prove these elements in your case. We may use strategies such as:
- Obtaining and analyzing police reports
- Interviewing witnesses
- Consulting with expert witnesses (e.g., accident reconstruction specialists, medical professionals)
- Gathering and reviewing medical records
- Collecting photographic or video evidence from the accident scene and otherwise
The Importance of Timely Action
It’s crucial to act promptly after an injury. Statutes of limitations vary by state and can limit your ability to file a claim if you wait too long. And, long before the statute of limitations runs, you need a good lawyer working to establish what you need for your case. For example:
- In Louisiana, the general statute of limitations for personal injury cases is two years from the date of the injury (though for certain actions, it is still one year).
- In Texas, it’s two years.
- In Mississippi, it’s three years.
However, there can be exceptions to these general rules, which is why it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after an injury.
