What Do You Have to Prove in a Queens Car Accident Case?
If you are pursuing a car accident claim, you will need to prove that another party caused the crash. You will also have to prove you have suffered car accident injuries and compensable losses as a result. Proving who caused a car accident usually involves showing how another party’s actions make them legally at fault for the crash.
For example, this may involve showing that the at-fault driver was speeding, ran a red light, made an illegal turn, or changed lanes without signaling.
Proving fault for a Queens car accident often requires evidence such as the following:
- Accident scene photos
- Eyewitness statements
- Police reports
- Surveillance footage
- Cell phone records
To recover compensation in a car accident case, you also need to prove what losses you incurred due to the crash. This can include medical and rehabilitation expenses, loss of wages for the period of time you missed from work and loss of future earning potential, and even personal losses such as physical pain and emotional distress.
Proving financial losses after a car crash usually requires documentary evidence such as medical bills, invoices, receipts, pay stubs, and tax returns. In catastrophic cases, where the plaintiff is unable to ever work again (or work in a diminished capacity), expert testimony from a vocational and forensic economist is often necessary. Showing non-financial losses involves relying on testimony from your treating medical providers, family, and friends regarding the impacts your injuries have had on your life.
