At the core of any successful personal injury claim is a definitive form of proof that liability lies in the hands of the other party. As your representatives, we will seek evidence that supports your claim, including police reports, photos, video/surveillance, witness testimonies, etc. Furthermore, proving the negligence of the motorist will strengthen your claim. The elements of negligence are as follows:

• The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff;
• The defendant breached that legal duty by failing to act as any reasonable person would in similar circumstances;
• The plaintiff was injured as a direct result of the defendant’s breach of duty.

In most cases, the motorist is primarily to blame.

Pedestrian accidents typically occur in one of the following three ways:

• The pedestrian crosses the street illegally and gets hit
• A reckless driver fails to yield to the pedestrian and strikes them
• Bad roadway designs contribute to the collision.

Regardless of the nature of your accident, we will fight for you. Our client-focused approach has led us to success in a wide majority of our cases, and this will not change. Focus on recovery and spending time with your family, allowing us to do the heavy lifting.

If you are involved in an accident, you are required to remain at the scene until the police arrive. Those who leave the scene without stopping have committed a hit-and-run. The driver may leave the scene temporarily to get emergency assistance, but he/she must return immediately. Here are the five important facts you should know about hit-and-run:

• The driver who leaves the scene of the crash may be charged with hit-and-run even if the accident was not his fault.
• A hit-and-run driver can be charged with felony hit-and-run even if the only person injured or killed was his passenger.
• A driver involved in a crash may temporarily leave the scene of the accident to seek necessary medical attention for himself or anyone injured in the crash. But he/she must return immediately.
• A hit-and-run driver can be charged with misdemeanor hit-and-run even if there was no damage to another vehicle.
• A misdemeanor hit-and-run case may be resolved with a civil compromise.
