Boise Personal Injury Lawyers know that proving liability can make or break your personal injury case. How does a personal injury attorney prove who is responsible for an accident? There are some very common rules of law which determine liability, but sometimes liability is not perfectly clear.
Boise Personal Injury Lawyers must look at factors such as did the party who caused the accident have a particular duty, were they trespassing or were they being negligent. There are many forms of negligence depending upon the type of accident. For example, speeding, driving under the influence and inattentive driving are forms of negligence often responsible for car accident personal injury.
Once personal injury lawyers collect the evidence in a personal injury case they must present it to the jury. The jury will make the final determination about whether or not there was an injury and who is liable for that injury. Sometimes there is more than one party responsible for an injury. This is called comparative liability. This can involve two or more people or businesses or it can be the injured party and the person causing the accident. An example of two or more people or businesses being responsible for an accident might be a hotel chain (a business) failing to upkeep the swimming pool and a guest at the hotel playing dangerous pool claims with another guest. The combination of failing to upkeep the pool and the dangerous game creates a situation where both parties have a degree of liability. An example of the injured party and another party having comparative liability might be a two individuals speeding and one party runs a red light and causes the accident. The question for personal injury attorneys and the jury alike is who caused the accident? In situations where the injured party is partially liable for their injury, a jury may decrease their monetary award by the percentage of their negligence.
