Proving Liability in Anaheim Personal Injury Claims
If you have suffered physical, emotional, or financial damages due to another party’s actions, you have the right to file a personal injury claim. However, as the injured victim filing a claim, you carry the burden of proof. This means your claim must include evidence that demonstrates the following points:
- Duty of care: The at-fault party owed you a duty to act responsibly and prevent harm.
- Breach of duty: They breached this duty by acting negligently.
- Causation: This negligence directly caused the accident and your injuries.
- Damages: Your injuries resulted in damages.
Identifying the liable party and proving their negligence is not always easy, so it is essential to have a lawyer’s guidance and knowledge to help you build a strong claim. At Callahan & Blaine, we conduct a detailed investigation of your case to gather evidence, like medical records, the police report, video footage, and witness testimony. This attention to detail and commitment to justice gives you the best chance of achieving maximum compensation.
Damages You May Recover for Your Anaheim Personal Injury Claim
Personal injuries can be life-changing, leaving you with mounting medical bills and temporarily or permanently out of work. These losses make recovering damages essential for your recovery. Depending on your unique circumstances and with the help of our seasoned lawyers, you may receive compensation for the following damages:
- Past, present, and future medical bills
- Lost wages from missed work
- Loss of earning capacity
- Ambulance ride
- Prescribed medications
- Caregiving services
- Home modifications
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Reduced quality of life
- Property damage
- Punitive damages
In some personal injury cases, multiple parties share responsibility, including the injured individual filing the claim. If you are partially at fault for an accident, you may still recover damages with California’s pure comparative negligence rule. With this system, each party involved receives a percentage of the fault, which gets taken from their respective compensation. For instance, if you are 15% at fault for a car accident, your damages will be reduced by 15%.
While this system allows you to still recover damages if you are partially responsible for an accident, the other parties and insurance companies involved will likely try to blame you for an unfair portion of the accident to reduce your compensation. With our extensive insurance knowledge, we understand these tactics and negotiate with adjusters on your behalf to ensure a fair settlement.
