Wondering if you have a personal injury case? It can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re dealing with the stress of an injury. But at Herrman & Herrman, P.L.L.C., we’re here to help you navigate the process and determine if you have a valid claim.
What Determines if You Have a Case?
The most critical factor in any personal injury case is negligence—did someone else’s careless actions cause your injury? Negligence means failing to exercise reasonable care to prevent harm. If someone else’s negligence led to your injury, you might have a strong case for compensation.
Our experienced attorneys regularly receive calls from people all over South Texas—from Corpus Christi to the Rio Grande Valley—seeking help after being injured. However, to move forward with a claim, it must be proven that another person, business, or entity was responsible for your injuries. If the accident was entirely your fault, it would be difficult to pursue a claim.
What Are the Key Elements of Negligence?
To establish negligence and build a successful case, five key elements must be proven:
- Duty: Did the responsible party owe you a duty of care? For example, a driver has a duty to operate their vehicle safely.
- Breach of Duty: Did they breach that duty? If a driver was texting and hit your car, they breached their duty to pay attention to the road.
- Cause in Fact: Was their breach the direct cause of your injury?
- Proximate Cause: Was their negligence the primary reason for the accident, or were other factors involved?
- Damages: Were you injured or suffered losses due to their negligence?
These elements might seem straightforward, but proving them can be complex. That’s why it’s essential to have skilled attorneys on your side. At Herrman & Herrman, we know how to analyze these factors and determine whether you have a strong case.
