To prove liability in a laceration injury claim, you must establish evidence that the other driver was negligent. There are three elements involved in proving negligence and liability. First, you must prove that the other driver owed you a duty of care. This duty of care could be maintaining a property to provide safe driving conditions or following the rules of the road.
Next, you have to prove that the driver or property owner somehow breached the duty of care. This could include a dangerous roadway that causes motorcycles to lose traction or failing to follow traffic laws. For example, speeding is breaching the duty of care. Finally, you must prove that the negligence caused your laceration injury.
If a driver speeds and hits your motorcycle, causing you to fall off and then you are hurt, it’s clear that your injuries were a direct result of the driver’s negligence. A Los Angeles motorcycle accident laceration attorney can help prove this.
