In order to prove negligence as a Cause of Action under the law of torts, a plaintiff has to prove that the defendant was responsible for the safety of the plaintiff. Also that the duty was not honored, due to failure to conform to the required standard of conduct and that the defendant’s negligent behavior caused the harm to the plaintiff, and that the plaintiff truly was hurt. This can be tricky to do. It’s true that the insurance companies have the means to hire the most expensive representation for their side. You just need extensive experience, not expensive. They are no match for us and our persistence and knowledge. They cannot avoid a lawsuit like they avoid paying you a fair settlement. We will help you provide evidence of legal and actual causation to prevent a trial that continues to get pushed back.
Legal Causation
Legal causation is important in every personal injury claim. What does this mean? In personal injury actions, it’s not enough for a plaintiff to simply say that she suffered an injury for which a defendant must compensate her. Instead, the plaintiff must prove that a defendant caused the injury.
This is known as legal causation. Also, the law says there are two specific types of legal “causes.” The first is referred to as “cause in fact”. The second is “proximate cause”. Both must be proven by a plaintiff in a personal injury action in order to maintain a claim.
A skilled negligence lawyer can help you differentiate between the actual and legal causation in your case. They can use this to prove the particular damage caused by the defendant. We have highly experienced Hazel Crest based attorneys at Costa Ivone, LLC, who can assist you with your case. We offer legal assistance to help you build your negligence case and get you the appropriate compensation you deserve. In addition to cause in fact, a plaintiff must prove that an act was the proximate cause of an injury. A proximate cause deals with the relation of an event to a specific injury. The most common legal test for determining proximate cause is based upon foreseeability. This means that an act is the proximate cause of an injury if the injury could have been reasonably predicted, or foreseen, from the alleged act.
Let’s look at an example. Maybe boy #1 throws a toy at boy #2 and injures his head. Proximate cause here is met since a reasonable person could have predicted that throwing an object at someone would hurt them.
Similarly, if boy #2 is standing close to a bookshelf and boy #1 shakes the bookshelf, causing books to fall on boy #1’s head, proximate cause it still met since a reasonable person could have predicted the specific accident and injury.
The evidence in these cases is the key to getting you a just settlement. You will want to trust your case to an attorney who thoroughly knows the laws on negligence. Costa Ivone, LLC has competent attorneys who know the difference between actual and legal causation, who can help you as this knowledge pertains to your situation.
Beyond this, we will keep moving your case along through the proper legal channels, filing the correct paperwork, and gathering evidence. All this will avoid delays with your settlement and build a solid case for you. Simply put, a negligent action places legal responsibility on the negligent party. Comparative negligence is therefore the assertion that the behavior of the individual harmed was itself a factor leading to the incidence of the harm suffered.
Illinois law uses modified comparative negligence. Therefore, when two parties are at fault in an accident, this law helps to decide to what degree each party is responsible for causing the accident. Whoever is more at fault, if more than 50%, could be responsible for the cost of damages.
For example, if Kelly is driving too fast and Arthur is driving with a broken windshield, Arthur may pull out in front of Kelly. Once he hits Kelly’s car, claims will be filed, and the insurance companies will attempt to determine who is more at fault. This is when comparative negligence laws will likely be used to determine liability for damages.
If the judge says one driver is 75% liable, and the other is only 25%, the driver who is less at fault will be able to collect a settlement, but possibly only 75% of the cost. In the Hazel Coast area, you can trust that we will work tirelessly to ensure you are the recipient of a fair settlement.
