How Do You Determine Fault in Personal Injury Cases?

Call Now Free Case Evaluation

If you have been injured by someone else’s negligence, your personal injury claim will be based on the other party’s fault, but proving this fault is often complicated. If someone else’s negligence leaves you injured, don’t put off consulting with an experienced Kansas City personal injury attorney.

Duty of Care

Personal injury law focuses on the duty of care we owe others. For example, every motorist owes everyone else on the road a duty of care that includes following the rules of the road and driving safely in relation to the road’s condition. Additionally, we are owed a duty of care regarding our safety from all of the following:

  • Commercial property owners and managers when we visit their establishments as guests
  • Private property owners when we visit their homes or properties as guests
  • The manufacturers of the commercial products we purchase

When anyone in any of these categories engages in negligent practices that leave someone injured, they can be deemed at fault in any ensuing personal injury claims.
