Proving Fault and Liability in a Personal Injury Case

How does your lawyer prove your personal injury case? It begins and ends with evidence. For your case to succeed, you will need to prove that another party caused your injury. You cannot simply allege that someone caused your accident. You have to prove it.

The experienced and dedicated lawyers at Dansker & Aspromonte LLP Associates are ready to get to work fighting for you. In many instances, the difference between a strong case and a weak one is the quality and thoroughness of the investigation your lawyer performs to uncover the legal proof necessary to prove your case. The sooner we begin to investigate the unique facts and circumstances of your car accidents in new york, preserve evidence, and build your claim, the better chance we have of maximizing your financial recovery.

If we agree to accept your case, our investigation may include obtaining all police and car accident reports, scene and injury photographs, video footage, witness statements, safety documents, vehicle specifications, expert evaluations in accident reconstruction or worksite safety, sworn statements from all involved parties, all hospital and medical records, medical expert evaluations and anything else that builds a strong claim for trial before a jury if necessary.

Once we have enough evidence to demonstrate fault, prove your damages, and how those injuries will affect you for the rest of your life, we will present this information to the liable party or parties’ representative. The at-fault parties have a right to negotiate a fair settlement of your case but if they do we prepare every case for trial before a jury.

Don’t Waive Your Right to Compensation By Missing Important Deadlines

Regardless of the severity of your injuries in an accident, there are time limitations that limit your right to recovery. If you fail to file your claim for benefits or damages, you may be forever barred from receiving the financial compensation you deserve.
