Before you can file a spinal cord injury claim in Arizona, you or your attorney must determine fault. The individual or entity most at fault for causing your spinal cord injury will serve as the defendant in your personal injury case. This party could be a motor vehicle driver, trucking company, business, employer, product manufacturer, the government, property owner, or a combination of parties.
Proving that a defendant is liable typically takes establishing four elements as more likely to be true than not true: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. A duty of care is a legal obligation to act in a reasonable manner, such as a driver’s duty to safely operate a motor vehicle. A breach of duty is any act or omission that violates the duty of care. Causation means that the defendant’s mistake was the actual cause of the spinal cord injury. Damages mean the victim suffered compensable losses in the accident.
Establishing fault during a spinal cord injury lawsuit in Arizona often requires assistance from a personal injury lawyer. A Peoria spinal cord injury lawyer who has experience handling spinal cord injury claims can explain your rights and help you gather evidence against one or more parties to build your claim.
