Our Beverly Hills Car Accident Lawyers Can Help You

Posted on

When it comes to car accidents, it is common for them to result in injury and often lead to a lawsuit. If you are the victim of an auto accident personal injury, the lawyers at One Law Group may be able to help you sue the driver of the other vehicle for damages. But, in order to get a successful outcome for such a lawsuit, you must be able to prove that the driver of the other vehicle caused the accident due to recklessness. There are three things that our lawyers will be able to help you establish to the court that the other driver was not using reasonable care:

  • The other driver had a legal responsibility to use care
  • The driver violated that duty
  • Show that the auto accident caused the personal injury

Duty of Care

If you think you can prove that the other driver had a duty of care, which is the legal responsibility imposed on an individual to a reasonable standard of care while driving, then you will have established a good basis for winning a personal injury lawsuit.

  • In order to meet the “duty of care” that is needed to drive a vehicle, drivers must drive at a sensible speed, always be in control of the car, and drive defensively. Defensive driving basically means that a driver is always aware of the surroundings that could cause an accident and take the safety measures to avoid them.
  • It is important for you to establish that the other driver created an unreasonable risk that caused the accident. Courts expect for you to act in order to avoid a reasonable risk, through an unreasonable risk is less avoidable.

Proving the Driver is at Fault

  • If you are confident that you can prove that the driver’s carelessness caused your injuries, you should consider taking legal action to get recoverable damages.
  • Though, if you were partly or solely at fault for the accident, you will have a hard time winning your auto accident personal injury case. Also, if there is anything else that may have caused your injury, you will have a difficult time getting damages.

No-Fault Insurance & Personal Injury Claims

  • Some jurisdictions have “no-fault auto insurance,” or personal injury protection. With no-fault auto insurance, the insurer automatically pays on an auto accident personal injury insurance claim. Essentially, the insurance company will pay for certain damages that the victim of the accident experiences if the victim or the other driver has this type of coverage in their policy.
  • No-fault insurance pays economic damages, like medical bills and lost income. However, this insurance does not cover pain and suffering or amounts that exceed the policy limit. If this describes the situation you are in, you may be able to sue the at-fault driver for the amount.

If your accident was caused by someone else’s negligence, you shouldn’t have to suffer the consequences alone. The choice to sue someone after a car accident should not be thought of as an act of hostility or opportunity. It is a legal way to get compensation for the damage that the other person caused. If someone else has caused your injuries, you shouldn’t have to pay the price for someone else’s negligence.
