Winning a car accident injury case requires more than just proving the other driver was at fault. You must prove that the driver was acting negligently when the accident occurred. That means the driver wasn’t being as careful as a normally reasonable person would be – or that they were driving recklessly. You also need to prove that the driver’s negligent actions or lack of care resulted in your injury. Proving these can be tricky and is best handled by an experienced legal team.

How to Know When Another Driver May be Liable for Your Car Accident Injuries
- Was the other driver as careful & vigilant as a reasonably prudent person would be in the same circumstances?
- Was the other driver paying attention to the roadway and watching out for other vehicles and pedestrians on the road?
- Did the other driver make a reasonable effort to avoid the accident?
- Was the other driver’s vehicle in safe working condition and properly equipped for driving according to Florida law?
- Was the other driver driving under the speed limit or otherwise driving safely?
- If there was bad weather, unfavorable road conditions, or other situations in which there were obstructions to vision, did the other driver take additional precautions to avoid an accident?
If the answer to any of these questions is “No”, it is likely that the other driver was negligent in his or her actions and is liable for your injuries. You probably have a strong case.
