Establishing Your Right to Compensation

If you decide to pursue compensation, you will need to prove that another party acted negligently. This involves proving:

  • Duty of care – First, you must show that the other driver owed you a duty to drive with reasonable care and skill at the time the accident happened. This means following traffic laws and using good judgment while behind the wheel.
  • Breach of duty of care – Next, you must show that the other party did not drive according to this obligation. Examples of this include distracted driving, drunk driving, speeding, and tailgating. A police report is a good way to identify the other driver’s carelessness at the time of the crash.
  • Causation – It is also important to show that the other driver caused your injuries. Showing that they were careless is not enough. You must establish that there is a connection between their breach of the duty of care and your neck injury.
  • Damages – The last step is to provide information to show the different expenses and damages that you have experienced as a result of the accident. They must be financial in nature; you cannot only pursue non-economic damages, like pain and suffering, in your case.

Your neck injury may have also happened as the result of a premises liability accident. This is any type of accident where you are hurt because someone did not keep their property safe.
