When you have an accident, it can be unsettling to your life. There are sometimes severe consequences when accidents occur. Some people are traumatized emotionally after an accident, making them fearful about driving. When you have your property damaged and become injured due to an accident, you deserve fair compensation.
The results of any type of accident can be traumatizing. Whether you underwent severe bodily harm or simply emotional pain and suffering, you may be able to collect financial damages. The Legal Information Institute defines damages as “the sum of money the law imposes for a breach of some duty or violation of some right.”

Types of Faulty or Neglected Vehicle Maintenance
There are two ways you may get into an accident due to faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance. Let us look at both of these ways and who the responsible party is:
Your Car Is the Issue
There is a possibility that your car could have a malfunctioning part or that it received faulty maintenance work. This could result in the car not operating correctly and causing an accident. From a defective brake job to a bad front-end alignment, several factors could affect your vehicle’s operation. When such a thing happens, the vehicle repair shop could be held liable.
The Other Car Is the Issue
When another car loses control due to faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance, then they are responsible for the damages that occurred. You will not need to worry about whether you need to go after the individual car insurance or the repair shop’s insurance—your Andrew faulty or neglected vehicle maintenance lawyer will work out all the details for you, ensuring you get the best deal possible.

ClientYour Lawyer Will Build Your Case
If you were involved in an accident involving faulty or neglected vehicle parts, then call to see how we can build a case on your behalf. The steps involved are as followed:
Establishing Duty of Care
Your lawyer will show that the other party owed you a “duty of care.” This simply means that they owed you the courtesy of not harming you. Such as how when driving, one driver owes another driver a duty of care not to crash. When someone repairs your car, they owe you a duty of care not to harm you via how they leave your vehicle, per your service agreement.
Showing Breach of Duty
This is the part that involves showing the other party was negligent in some way. You must also show that the other’s party’s negligence led to the car malfunction and subsequent accident.
Your lawyer will collect evidence to support your testimony, such as:
- Written and verbal statements
- Police and medical reports
- Relevant photos and/or videos
Showing Causation
Finally, your lawyer will link your injuries and the property damage you incurred in the accident to the action or inaction of the other party (for example, that the other driver was intoxicated).
