How can I protect my rights after a car accident?

First, always ensure you receive appropriate medical attention first. Then, if possible, gather any relevant evidence from the accident scene, such as photographs, witness statements, etc. Avoid discussing fault or apologizing for the accident, as it may be used against you later. Lastly, contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible to ensure crucial steps are taken towards building your claim.

How is negligence proven in a personal injury case?

Proving negligence in a personal injury case typically involves establishing four key elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. The responsible party must have had a duty of care to you, that duty must have been breached, the breach must have directly caused your injury, and you must have incurred damages as a result. Collating the evidence to convincingly establish these elements is a task best undertaken by an experienced personal injury attorney.
