Determining Liability in an Accident Case

The first priority in an accident injury case is fairly determining liability—who is legally at fault for the accident and thus for potential damages. Liability is decided based on establishing negligence, and while it may seem as though one driver is fully responsible for the crash, liability isn’t necessarily an either/or. Multiple parties may be ruled to bear responsibility for an accident.

Liability may be spread between parties such as:

• The drivers involved in the crash
• Nearby drivers
• Commercial freight or trucking company
• Public transit company
• Pedestrians
• A bar owner who fails to report a drunk driver

While this isn’t an exhaustive list, it shows how many potentially liable parties there may be in a case. Therefore, it is essential in an injury case to have a trained lawyer to investigate your crash and advocate for your needs.

Damages You May Be Entitled to Receive

Our accident lawyers have helped clients from across Southwest Missouri get reimbursed for the expenses they incur after being hurt in a wreck. In law, this reimbursement is often called “damages”. Damages include missed work, medical bills, loss of companionship, loss of home services and changes in lifestyle caused by injuries sustained in an accident. We also help accident victims get the compensation they deserve after being injured due to no fault of their own.

Why Do You Need an Advocate?

In injury cases, many insurance companies often try to get you to accept less than full value for your case. That is why Pettit Law Office prepares each case as if it is going to trial. It is important to hire a lawyer who is experienced in handling jury trials in order to get the compensation you deserve. Our firm has decades of experience, and has tried cases all over Missouri. From the time we are hired on your case, we will work to get you the compensation you deserve.
