Establishing the Liable Party for Your Bicycle Accident
For an insurer or court to consider your case for damage recovery, you first must establish negligence. Your case must be able to support the following tenets:
- Duty of Care: The defendant owed you a duty of care to take reasonable steps to keep you from harm or injury.
- Breach of Duty: The defendant failed to fulfill a duty of care.
- Causation: The defendant’s breach of duty caused your bicycle accident that caused your injuries.
- Damages: The bicycle accident resulted in damages — physical, financial, and emotional — for which you are demanding compensation.
These arguments comprise the foundation of your bicycle accident case. Our injury lawyers will establish each component in the series, using evidence we gather to prove their legitimacy.
