  3. Factors That Go Into Establishing Liability Personal injury cases happen in a variety of ways. Some of the most common causes of personal injury cases include: Vehicle Accidents Involving Impaired Drivers Motorcycle Accidents ★ ★ Distracted Driver Vehicle Crashes Pedestrian and Bicycle Accidents ★ ★ Slip and Fall Injuries ★ Construction and workplace accidents ★ Bus Accidents Defective Products ★ ★ Burn Injuries ★ Dog Bites ★

  4. When another person’s negligence causes your injuries, you are usually entitled to receive compensation. However, you must first prove that the defendant is liable (responsible) for the incident in the first place.

  5. Using Negligence to Prove Fault Most personal injury cases involve negligence on the part of a person, company, or entity. In order for negligence, the following legal elements must be present: Duty. ★ ★ It must be shown that there was a legal duty from the defendant owed to the victim (the plaintiff). Breach. ★ ★ The Plaintiff has to prove that the defendant, in this case, breached their duty. Causation. ★ ★ The Plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty caused their injuries.

  6. Other Ways to Prove Liability Negligence is not the only cause of personal injuries. A plaintiff can still prove fault in other ways. In many cases, personal injury cases are brought against those who intentionally caused harm to another person. Sometimes a civil personal injury case will be related to a criminal case.

  7. Using negligence per se, which means that there was a violation of a statute and that the violation led to the plaintiff’s injury. For example, if a person was driving recklessly, which is usually a vehicle code violation, and causes an injury, they can be held liable through negligence per se.
