This is How You Win Your Case

In order to prevail in a personal injury lawsuit, you will need to prove that another party was negligent. To do this, your personal injury lawyer will need to prove the following elements:

• The defendant owed you a duty of care. For example, if you were shopping for groceries at Food Lion, the grocery store owner or manager would owe you a duty of care.
• The defendant breached this duty of care. To qualify as a breach, the defendant must have failed to take reasonable measures to keep you safe. For example, coolant is leaking from a freezer and the area surrounding it has become dangerous.
• This breach is what causes your accident. Management has failed to either put out warning signs or mop up the mess. While shopping, you slipped and fell.
• You must have been injured in this accident. The fall caused a concussion and broken ribs.
