Wichita Falls and Dallas car accidents are sometimes difficult to deal with. Whether you are filing a lawsuit or negotiating with the insurance company, there are three elements you will have to prove to successfully advance your car accident claim: negligence, causation, and damages. This post will focus on the causation part of your claim.
Causation in Wichita Falls and Dallas Car Accident Claims
Causation in Wichita Falls and Dallas car accident claims is the idea that the injured person must show that the accident was the proximate cause of the other person’s negligent conduct. Proximate cause is a legal term but essentially it means that it was the primary thing that set the events in motion that caused the accident.
For the other two elements, negligence, and damages, you simply have to prove that the other driver had a duty to act with a certain level of care and failed to exercise that level of care and you actually suffered losses such as physical injury or property damages due to that person’s negligence.
