Just because you are permanently injured in an accident does not mean you have a personal injury case. You must establish negligence in the following manner:

1. Duty of Care is an obligation placed on a party (individual or business) that requires them to act a certain way or standard. For example in a car accident case, driver 1 is required or obligated to drive according to the laws of Florida. Driver 1 is required to drive in a safe manner. That is Drivers 1’s duty of care. It’s the same for all motorists on Florida roads and highways.
2. Breach of Duty is when the party that is established to have a duty of care breaches their duty. In our car accident example, driver 1 is required to drive in accordance with the speed limit on I95 in Palm Beach County. The speed limit is 70mph, however driver 1 is traveling at 95mph and is weaving in and out of traffic and clips the rear-end of driver 2’s vehicle.
3. Causation - once a duty of care and breach of duty have been proven, a plaintiff is required to prove Causation. If not for driver 1’s reckless driving and colliding with the rear end of driver 2’s vehicle, the accident would not have occurred and driver 2 would not be seriously injured.

The concepts of establishing negligence are easily quoted but establishing them through evidence and experts in a court of law can be complicated. That is why you want a distinguished car accident lawyer to assist you in your accident injury case.
