When you get injured due to someone else’s negligence, the path to recovery can be a difficult and convoluted one. Personal injury law allows you to recover compensation due to the negligent actions of another party, as long as you can prove causation and suffered quantifiable damages. That said, proving liability isn’t as cut and dry as it is made out to be. Witness statements may be vague, evidence may disappear, and the insurance company or defendant’s counsel may argue that you were responsible for your injuries due to your own action.

All these factors can make it difficult to prove fault, and your case may be diminished when it comes to the potential payout you can receive, or it may be dismissed altogether. That said, an experienced personal injury attorney and his or her team can work diligently on your case and seal every area that may be a weak point that the defense can poke hole into.

We’ll delve into the various ways in which one can prove liability in personal injury claims in order to recover maximum compensation by working with our best personal injury legal team.

When Fault is Unclear in Personal Injury Claims

Here are some of the factors that may contribute to unclear fault:

1. Lack of Sufficient Evidence – There may be conflicting accounts of what happened, no witnesses, and lack of physical evidence such as videos and photos
2. Comparative Negligence – You may have partially caused the accident or contributed to your injuries. Across the country, comparative negligence laws vary, where your compensation may be reduced according to the percentage of fault you were apportioned according to your actions; however, in other states, if you are found to be even a small percentage at fault, you may not be able to recover anything.
3. Insurance Company Tactics – The goal of any insurance company is to make as much profit as is possible by minimizing payouts by shifting blame, questioning liability and even claiming that your injuries aren’t as severe as you make them out to be.
4. Complex Accidents – In multi-vehicle accidents or those involving complex machinery, determining the origin of evidence and who exactly is at fault may be difficult.

In the event that fault is unclear, the following tactics may help build a strong case:

1. If there was law enforcement called to the scene of the accident, the police report may be retrieved and act as an objective record of the accident, witness statements and so on, helping boost credibility and demonstrating fault.
2. It is important to take dozens video and photos of the accident as well as your injuries. In case there is surveillance footage, you can get a court order through us so the evidence of the same is retrieved before it is deleted or lost.
3. It is important to go to the ER and be seen by a physician after your injury or accident even if you feel fine. Doing so establishes a medical paper trail that includes things like diagnoses, treatment plans, doctor’s notes, surgeries, rehabilitation sessions and so on which will all legitimize your claim regarding your suffering injuries as well as help establish the medical fees damages you incurred as a result of the same.
