Proving Negligence in Catastrophic Injury Claims
Successful catastrophic injury claims require demonstrating that the defendant’s negligent actions directly caused your severe injuries and resulting damages. At the Law Offices of Cezar McKnight, we establish negligence by proving four essential legal elements:
- Duty of care: The defendant owed you a legal obligation to act reasonably and avoid causing harm.
- Breach of duty: The defendant failed to meet that standard of care through action or inaction.
- Causation: The defendant’s breach directly resulted in your catastrophic injuries.
- Damages: You suffered actual losses and harm requiring compensation.
Determining Fault
Establishing fault requires a thorough investigation and compelling evidence. Our legal team gathers documentation to build strong cases against responsible parties, including the following:
- Police reports
- Witness statements
- Medical records
- Accident scene photographs
- Accident scene reconstruction analysis
- Expert testimony
- Video surveillance footage
