It can be difficult to determine whether an accident was preventable or not. There’s a chance that someone else’s negligence contributed to your injuries. A Shreveport personal injury attorney from Laborde Earles can investigate your accident and identify a liable party.
How Our Personal Injury Attorneys Establish Negligence
The key to seeking compensation in any personal injury case rests on your ability to prove four elements of negligence. Our Shreveport personal injury attorneys can conduct an investigation to demonstrate the following:
- Someone owed you a basic duty of care to keep you reasonably safe: For example, drivers must follow traffic laws to ensure the safety of others on the road.
- That party breached this duty in some way: Suppose another driver failed to yield the right of way at a four-way intersection.
- This breach caused or contributed to your accident: By failing to stop at a stop sign, the other driver caused a sideswipe collision.
- The accident resulted in injuries and financial losses: As a result of the collision, you suffered a head injury, property damage, and physical pain.
Personal injury cases hinge on evidence. Our attorneys can gather police reports, video surveillance, and eyewitness statements to support your case. In some cases, we may even consult expert witnesses, such as accident reconstructionists, whose testimony can help your claim.
