– Legal Basis: Car accident cases typically fall under personal injury law and are based on the legal theory of negligence. To succeed, the plaintiff (injured party) must prove that the defendant (at-fault driver) owed a duty of care, breached that duty, and caused the accident and resulting injuries. Common Issues: – Determining fault (e.g., speeding, distracted driving, DUI). – Insurance claims and coverage limits. – Comparative negligence (if the plaintiff is partially at fault). – Damages: Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage.
