How to Prove a Brain Injury Lawsuit

To secure compensation in a brain injury lawsuit, you will need to prove that the at-fault party’s negligence is responsible for your damages. You will need to supply evidence that supports four key elements to accomplish this.

The at-fault party owed you a duty of care.
The at-fault party breached his or her duty of care in some way.
The breach of duty caused your accident and subsequent brain damage.
You suffered damages that you can collect in your lawsuit.

For example, say that a driver ran a red light and collided into your vehicle head-on. Drivers have a duty to follow traffic laws, and by running a red light, the at-fault driver breaches his or her duty of care. The impact of the accident causes you to hit your head against your windshield and sustain brain damage, which you could prove using your medical records.

Your attorney at Purvis Thomson, LLP can help you gather the evidence necessary to establish these elements, as well as the potential damages you may qualify for.
