How Lawyers Prove Driver Negligence in Court

Posted by: Kemmy Law Firm

Personal injury cases can get complicated fast after a car accident. Showing an insurance company that you’re owed compensation is hard enough and usually involves considerable negotiation. But things get more challenging if the insurance company disputes liability.

What Is Negligence?

Negligence is the failure to take proper care. Generally, a person is negligent in a car accident if they don’t drive carefully. They may also be negligent if they don’t follow the rules of the road or violate the law.

Laws That Apply To Texas & New Mexico Drivers

In Texas, laws that drivers should follow can be found in the Texas Driver Handbook. Potential drivers must learn the information in this handbook before they can get a driver’s license. If these laws are violated, the driver may be found to be negligent.

New Mexico’s Motor Vehicle Driver’s Handbook details laws that drivers should follow in the state. Although most states have similar laws, it’s essential to read the driver handbook in the state where you get a license to avoid violation of a law unintentionally.

Proving Driver Negligence in Court

If you’re injured in a car accident, your attorney will need to prove that the other driver was negligent. This allows you to hold their insurance company financially liable so you can get compensation for your losses.

Your injury lawyer may use various strategies to prove negligence after a car accident. Some of these methods are:

• Find witnesses who can testify that a law was broken
• Use an accident reconstructionist to determine what happened
• Review the scene of the accident to find physical evidence
• Look at the police report to see who was at fault
• Review legal records to determine if anyone got a ticket for violating a law
• Investigate driver history to see if they were adequately trained and licensed

Kemmy Law Firm will leave no stone unturned in their investigation.
