Proving Liability in a Classen North Highland Park Personal Injury Case
Insurance companies and judges don’t offer compensation automatically if you were hurt because someone else was careless. Instead, you’ll have to prove that someone else was responsible for your injuries.
Most personal injury cases are based on negligence.
To successfully recover damages, you must prove:
- Someone else owed you a legal duty of care
- The at-fault party breached the duty of care
- The breach caused your accident
- You sustained injuries or damages
You’ll need to present evidence to support these elements. You can count on our experienced lawyers to gather all the evidence you need, including:
- Police reports
- Video surveillance footage
- Eyewitness statements
- Expert witness testimony
- Medical records
- And more
Launching an investigation can be difficult when you’re injured. Our lawyers have the resources to conduct a comprehensive investigation and get to the bottom of what happened.
Statute of Limitations in Oklahoma Personal Injury Cases
Accident victims in Oklahoma generally have only two years to file a personal injury lawsuit. Letting the statute of limitations expire has serious consequences. If you wait too long to take legal action, you’ll lose your right to seek compensation.
