We Fight for Justice in Injury Claim
In order to have a personal injury lawsuit, you must be able to prove that
the other individual acted negligently and that their negligence caused
your injuries. If you have been the victim of a personal injury sustained
due to the negligence of another, our personal injuyr firm in Morristown,
TN will help you file a lawsuit against the negligent individual.
In order to prove negligence on the part of the other individual, you must
establish two elements:
- The other person owed you a duty of care, as in the case of you crossing
the street where you have the right-of-way.
- They violated this duty of care, by attempting to go through the intersection
for example.
An accomplished Morristown personal injury lawyer from our firm will be
able to aggressively fight to see that these elements are established
and proven so that we may maximize your chances of a favorable outcome
of your case in court.
