Proving Negligence in a Vehicle Roll Over

Negligence is a failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like circumstances. This area of law is focuses on harm caused by 'carelessness' and not intentional harm. If one can specifically point out how the defendant caused the unsafe circumstances of an accident, then proving negligence should be much more simple.

In civil cases like this, there are four elements that are needed to prove negligence. The first is 'duty,' which is used to prove that the defendant knew that he had a duty to drive safely around others. The second element is 'breach', and is required to show that the defendant breached their duty to act in a safe manner while on the road. The third element is 'causation', which proves that the defendant's actions caused the accident and resulting injuries to occur. The final element needed to prove negligence is 'damage', which proves exactly what the defendants careless actions resulted in, specifically the extent of injuries.

The specific legal wording for each states burden of proof requirements in personal injury cases can be found in §33.001 of the Texas Civil Practice Code and §2800.6 in the Louisiana Civil Code. If the case is ruled in your favor, you could be eligible for compensation in the form of damages, which includes Economic damages (medical bills, property damage) Non-economic damages (pain and suffering) and Exemplary damages (for cases of gross misconduct or negligence).
