Do I Have a Case?

Did you suffer an injury caused by someone else’s recklessness? In California, you could be entitled to compensation through an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit.

How to Know If You Have Grounds for an Injury Case

In general, anyone harmed by another party’s careless, reckless, or deliberately dangerous behavior could have grounds for a personal injury case. If someone intentionally hurt you or sold you an unsafe product that injured you, that alone could give you grounds to sue. However, to have a valid case after an accident, you must be able to prove negligence. You must show:

• The other party had a responsibility to avoid injuring you – This duty varies considerably depending on the type of case you need to file. For instance, every driver is expected to obey traffic laws and avoid injuring other road users.
• The other party failed to uphold their responsibility – Evidence must prove the other party failed in their duty to you by acting (or failing to act) in a reasonable manner. For example, a motorist who rear-ends you because they were texting while driving did not fulfill their obligation to keep you safe.
• The other party’s actions directly contributed to the incident – It is not enough to prove that the other party failed to uphold their duty to you. You must also demonstrate a direct, causal link between the at-fault party’s actions and your injuries.
• You suffered injuries or other losses – Finally, you must prove that you sustained some measurable injury or loss that can be remedied through compensation. Compensation can include money for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, lost quality of life, and other damages.
