Proving Liability in Personal Injury Lawsuits
Proving liability is a tricky yet vital part of recovering compensation in any personal injury claim. Because the plaintiff bears the burden of proof in injury lawsuits, securing experienced representation is a must to build a robust case and hold negligent parties accountable.
Your lawyer can help you establish liability by proving the following elements:
- Duty of care. The defendant owed you a duty of care, such as obeying traffic laws.
- Breach of duty. The defendant breached their duty by acting negligently, such as running a red light or driving while impaired.
- Causation. The defendant’s negligence directly caused the accident and resulting injuries.
- Damages. You suffered compensatory harm or damages as a result of the breach.

"They held my hand thru the whole thing, answering my silly calls with questions and showing great patience."
I found the Kuvara Law Firm when I did a search for personal injury attorneys. I scanned down the possibilities but their name jumped out at me. I called, sure I didn't have a claim because I've never done this before, but on reviewing my case Mr. Kuvara said I DO have a case and assigned me to the appropriate person to get things started. They were always very friendly and encouraging whenever I contacted them. Colby is an absolute doll! Then when I had my fall and concussion Mr. Kovara referred me to a colleague at another firm that specializes in that type of case. They, too, were good and helpful and full of information I'd never think of! Everything was perfect, they really knew their jobs at both firms and took great care of me. I can't recommend them highly enough and will keep their contact information in my wallet ready to share with all who may ask! Thanks so much, Colby!

Knowing what steps to take after a wrongful injury is essential to seeking justice and maximum compensation for your injuries.
