In most personal injury cases, the issue of fault hinges on a legal concept known as “negligence.” Negligence is when someone or something, such as a business, fails to act responsibly or acts recklessly, and in doing so, causes harm to someone else.
For example, if a driver is texting while driving and causes an accident, the driver would be acting negligently because he or she was driving distracted.
Proving negligence, however, is not always easy. In the above example, an experienced Balm personal injury lawyer would be able to pull the driver’s cellphone records to show that he or she was in fact texting while driving at the time of the accident. In other cases, it may be more difficult to prove. That’s why it is to your advantage to contact the skilled Balm personal injury lawyers at Darrigo & Diaz.
