How Do I Know if I Have a Valid Personal Injury Claim?
Filing a personal injury suit in New York City is a way of obtaining the financial remuneration you deserve if you suffered injuries because of what others did or failed to do. A personal injury lawsuit is based on the legal idea of negligence. For a person to show that an individual or entity was negligent and liable for injuries, a person must be able to prove that:
- The negligent party owed a duty of care to the person;
- The negligent party failed to exercise reasonable care in fulfilling this duty to the person, therefore breaching that duty;
- The negligent party acted or failed to act in a way that breached a duty of care and caused the person’s injury; and
- The person suffered actual harm because of the defendant’s negligent party’s breach of duty.
Proving negligence requires individuals who file personal injury suits to collect evidence, analyze the law and facts, and argue for liability in court. Zimmet Law Group, P.C. can provide seasoned legal counsel that stems from years of experience representing clients in personal injury suits, including motor vehicle accidents.
What Evidence Should I Collect After an Accident?
The types of evidence you should collect will depend on the accident itself. For example, if you were injured due to dangerous property conditions, you should photograph the property hazard that caused your accident. If you were hurt in an auto accident, you should photograph any damage to vehicles and property.
You should also ensure you gather witness contact information (regardless of the type of accident) and keep copies of all medical documentation pertaining to your injuries.
You should also always call emergency services to the scene of the accident, as police will typically write up an accident report, detailing the facts of the incident.
