Elements to Prove Negligence
Auto accidents can take many forms, but victims who suffer injuries in wrecks that could and should have been prevented if not for negligence have a right to pursue financial compensation for their damages. Our attorneys have the experience to help clients build strong personal injury cases that meet the elements required to prove negligence.
These elements include:
- Legal Duty – Victims must prove that the defendant owed a legal duty of care to them under the given circumstances. Generally, anyone who steps behind the wheel of a motor vehicle has a legal obligation to operate it safely and to take reasonable measures in reducing risks of preventable harm.
- Breach of Duty – Proving that a driver failed to uphold their legal obligation of safely operating their vehicle is the crux of a personal injury case. For example, you may need to prove clearly and convincingly that another driver’s negligence (whether it be speeding, distraction, impairment, or another act of negligence) was a breach of their legal duty.
- Causation – It is further the victim’s responsibility to illustrate that the at-fault party’s negligence more likely than not caused their accident and subsequent injuries. Causation can be difficult to prove, especially if victims contributed to a crash, but our attorneys are adept in establishing links between negligence and injuries.
- Damages – In order to have a valid claim for compensation, victims must have suffered actual damages as a result of their accident. These damages can be tied to the injuries they suffered and include economic and non-economic losses such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering, among others. Our lawyers take full account of the damages our client's experience in order to secure the maximums compensation possible.

What Should I Do If I’VE BEEN ARRESTED?
-
1. Don’t Talk to the Police!
It’s crucial to know that while you should remain respectful with authorities, you have the right to remain silent. This a right protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear individuals are protected from being compelled to be a witness against him / herself in criminal matters.
It’s important to note that:
- Talking will not help you avoid an arrest. If law enforcement has probable cause to arrest you, then they will arrest you.
- By speaking, you risk making a confession or providing information that can be used to indict you, even unknowingly.
- Even if you feel that information being discussed is “harmless,” it is still in your best interest to invoke your Fifth Amendment right.
-
2. Ask for a Lawyer!As soon as you can you should elect your right to have a defense attorney present. A Minnesota criminal defense lawyer or public defender can ensure the police do not violate your rights and help you avoid saying anything incriminating during questioning. Caplan & Tamburino Law Firm is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that we can be by your side whenever you need us. Call now!
MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR OUR CLIENTS
-
“Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino.”
- C.V.Thank you and your law firm, Mr. Tamburino. To be honest, going into this case I was lost in all the steps and confused on what to do. With the help from you, Ashley, and Tyler, I can say I felt relief that I had wonderful lawyers to help me through this incident. In the past 9 or 10 years, I had always tried to figure things out myself. Going into this issue, I was discouraged on my ability to avoid the harsh punishment of one bad decision I had made on the day of my arrest. You and your team gave me the hope and belief that I needed. So I just wanted to give you my thanks. If ever I have anyone who needs a lawyer I will most definitely recommend you and your firm.
