Who Is at Fault for My Personal Injury?

It’s easy to say, “Be careful.” But, no one can keep themselves from being in an accident in all situations. No matter how careful you are, no matter how many rules you follow, you can still be injured because of other people’s actions. When you live among society, other people’s decisions can negatively impact your life.
For instance, when you share the road with other drivers, you place a certain amount of faith in them that they will follow traffic laws. 

Unfortunately, people don’t always do what’s right. Those people can be held liable for your injuries and damages. But, how do you figure out what caused your accident? How do you discover the answer to this question: Who is at fault for my personal injury?

Investigating Your Accident

One important step to winning a personal injury claim and receiving a settlement for an accident you didn’t cause is investigation. In order to determine who is at fault for the accident and your injuries, you must gather evidence that shows what happened and whose actions caused the accident. 

Once you figure out what happened, you need to collect as much proof as you can. This evidence can come in many forms, such as witness statements, accident scene evidence, photo or video evidence, expert witness statements, and physical evidence.

This evidence is used to strengthen your case and prove that the person who caused your accident is legally responsible for what they did to you.
