If you watch prime time television, you’ll be forgiven to think that personal injury lawsuits are easy to settle or try in a court of law. This couldn’t be further from the truth, because of a number of things, with the most important one being causation. It is vital that you show the connection between your injuries and the event that caused it, and this can be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for many individuals just coming into personal injury law. This is perhaps one of the most important reasons why you should never represent yourself as there may be so many legal moving parts you may not be aware of that it would be easy for the insurance company to pull the wool over your eyes and get you to settle for a laughable amount. This is perhaps one of the most compelling reasons why you should retain our services as an experienced personal injury law firm.

In order to recover damages for a personal injury lawsuit, it is important or necessary to show that the negligent actions of the defendant were what caused your injuries, and consequently, the damages that you are suing for.
In order to prove actual cause, you must show that were it not for the defendant’s actions, you never would have been injured: in other words, the defendant’s breach of a standard was vital in the commitment of your injury.
The following may be used to prove causation:
- A police report, which is written by the responding officer, typically done in clear and objective language may be able to show who was at fault
- Surveillance camera footage may also be able to show the negligent action that caused your injuries
- Eyewitness accounts from multiple individuals saying the same thing may also be used to show who was at fault
- A medical diagnosis (which is why it is important to see a doctor on the same day that you are injured) may prove that you were indeed injured, by a certain action perpetrated
