4 Factors that Help Prove Fault in a Negligence Claim in Kentucky

There are 4 factors to take into consideration when figuring out whose fault an accident was, which include the following:

• Duty - All U.S. citizens are assumed to have a general duty of preventing harm to others. People like doctors and caregivers have a higher level of duty than most civilians.
• Breach of Duty - It is considered a breach of this duty to act in a way that will cause harm to others or when harm is caused by not acting at all.
• Causation - You will have to show that because of this breach of duty, harm was caused to others; and
• Damages - After causation is determined, it will have be shown what damages were caused by a breach of duty.

After an accident you could find that you were the victim of someone’s negligence. A claim in Kentucky could help you recover compensation for your damages. A Louisville auto accident attorney from the Law Offices of Gray and White might be able to help at 502-210- 8942.
