Proving Liability in a Personal Injury Case     

In all personal injury litigation, negligence, recklessness, or unlawful conduct of another must be proven to develop a successful case. That means you must be able to show the nature and extent of the actual damages you suffered.  Friedman Law Offices is here to build a strong case by demonstrating the following:                            

• Duty of care: The legal obligation one has to avoid causing harm
• Breach of duty: When a person fails to practice reasonable care and breaches their legal duty
• Causation: The other party’s negligence directly caused your injuries
• Damages: Must be demonstrated that damages such as physical harm, medical bills, lost wages, and other quantifiable losses occurred

An experienced personal injury law firm will conduct a thorough investigation and gather evidence such as:

• Photos and videos of the accident scene
• Police accident report detailing what happened and all involved
• Statements from witnesses who saw the accident and the aftermath
• Expert testimonials from accident reconstruct experts, forensic professionals, or medical experts to build the strongest foundation for your claim

All of the above and more go a long way to tell the story of your accident, and we leave no stone unturned in our process of seeking justice for you.
