Compensation for Personal Injury Claims

It is important to prove negligence in a personal injury case. It may be tempting to accept a settlement after an accident from an big insurance company or the negligent parties involved. However, it is important for our Desoto, MO, injury attorneys to make sure your compensation is fair. Here are a few ways we go about proving a claim:

• Reasonable Duty of Care: We as a society have a moral "duty of care" in everyday life. Proving there is a duty of care is a good first step in proving negligence after an incident. For example, it is a business owner's "duty" to protect his or her customers from harm, like fixing protruding nails or a dangerous stairway. The same goes for truck drivers, big corporations, and others.
• Breach: Another step in proving negligence is showing how an entity "breached" their duty of care. A good example is a driver that ignores a stop sign and crashes into another car or pedestrian. They know they were supposed to stop, but breached their duty of care by not stopping.
• Causation: Causation is what caused the breach, like a store owner knowingly ignoring a dangerous situation. This is the negligent act that breaches the duty of care.
• Damages: Finally, there must be financial repercussions. Financial harm may include rehabilitation, lost wages, and other expenses. Burger Law's Desoto personal injury attorneys will consider short and long-term damages for our clients.

It is important to contact a skilled personal injury attorney if you need (or do not know if you need) help or legal assistance. Burger Law has a strong track record for providing just that and winning cases.
