To answer this question, we first need to know the facts and circumstances surrounding the accident.
To prove negligence, we must be able to show that the other party owed you a duty of care and that by breaching their duty of care, they caused your injuries and damages.
Our free case evaluation can help determine whether you have a claim.
But what about the value of your case? Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to pursue compensation for:
Several factors will be taken into account when calculating the value of your claim, including the extent of your injuries, your level of pain and suffering, the effect on your earning capacity and more.
