For any type of personal injury claim to be compensable, you must be able to demonstrate that someone else was responsible for the events which led to the injury. It is not always simple to identify the negligent party or demonstrate liability, but your Van Sant Law auto accident attorney or personal injury lawyer understands where and how to look for evidence to establish fault and bolster your claim for compensation.

Sometimes, more than one party is at fault and it becomes necessary to apportion liability. Even if you share some of the responsibility for the accident but are found to be less than 50% liable, you can still pursue financial damages under Georgia’s modified comparative negligence law. The amount of damages you can recover will be reduced proportionately by your share of liability. For example, if your claim is worth $100,000 but you were 30% at fault, the other party would be responsible for $70,000 in damages, not the entire $100,000.

In personal injury cases, evidence plays a key role. That means you need to have documentation to support your claim, including documentation of the accident or injury itself, of the other party’s negligent actions, and proof that the other party’s negligence led to your injuries. Evidence may vary depending on the type of personal injury case. Generally, though, supporting documentation includes police reports, photos and videos of the accident scene, eyewitness statements, documentation of damaged personal property (if applicable), and medical records showing the nature and extent of your injuries and the treatment required to address those injuries.
