Negligence is a legal term that’s at the heart of every personal injury claim. In your case, you’ll need to prove that the other party was negligent in order to collect compensation. This means that we have to demonstrate three factors. First, we need to show that the defendant acted in a manner that was unreasonably irresponsible, so much so that a normal person wouldn’t act that way. Next, we need to demonstrate that this careless or reckless act led to the accident. Finally, we need to show that you got hurt in the accident.
