Give Us A Call »Establishing Liability for Your Wrongful Death Claim
The final step in the process is establishing fault and liability for your loved one’s death.
Our legal team carefully analyzes the details of the case and obtains evidence indicating which party (or parties) caused the accident or incident in question. This may require information including the following:
- Police reports
- Accident reports
- Medical records
- Safety records
- Accident scene photos
- Accident scene reconstruction
- Subject matter expert testimony
Once we demonstrate fault, we have to establish liability. To accomplish this, we must demonstrate the following:
Duty of Care
The defendant had a duty (a legal obligation) to act in a reasonable manner to avoid subjecting the victim to undue harm.
Breach of Duty
The defendant breached this duty of care, either through negligence, carelessness, recklessness, etc., and, by failing to uphold this obligation, acted in a way that subjected the victim to harm.
Causation
The defendant’s breach of duty directly caused the accident or incident in question and, as a result, caused the victim’s fatal injuries.
Damages
As the cause of the victim’s injuries, the defendant is responsible for all damages that resulted.
The evidence we use to support your claim depends on the nature of the victim’s injuries and the circumstances leading to his death. We may call on the opinions or testimony of experts in the medical field as well as safety experts and others with advanced knowledge in a particular field of specialization.
