Car Accidents
Imagine you're driving along, minding your own business, when suddenly, another car slams into yours. In an instant, your life changes. Car accident cases are unfortunately all too common, and they can be overwhelming and confusing. But fear not, because Taft & Beck is here to help you navigate your case and seek the compensation you deserve.
Car accident cases typically involve a claim of negligence. Negligence claims involve 4 distinct elements – duty of care, breach, causation, and damages. The first, duty of care, essentially means that the at-fault driver owed a duty of reasonable care to not harm the plaintiff (driving according to the rules of the road, not speeding, not driving while intoxicated, etc.). The second element, breach, is where the at-fault driver breaks one of the duties owed (driving while intoxicated, running a red light, speeding, failing to yield, driving recklessly, etc.). The third element, causation, involves a plaintiff showing that the at-fault driver’s breach causedthe harm suffered by the plaintiff (if it weren’t for the at-fault driver’s running a red light, this auto-accident wouldn’t have happened, and therefore, I wouldn’t have these injuries). Finally, damages, which involve medical expenses, lost income, property damage, lost quality of life, physical and emotional pain and suffering, etc.).
At Taft & Beck, we gather evidence, interview witnesses, reconstruct the accident scene, meticulously assess your injuries, and work with medical experts to determine the long-term consequences and costs associated with your recovery.
