How to Prove Liability in Indiana
Under Indiana law, liability must be established by proving that the defendant was ‘at fault’ for the accident. In most cases, fault for an accident is established by proving that the defendant’s negligence, in some manner, contributed to causing the victim’s injuries. In the most simple terms, negligence is unreasonably dangerous behavior. To establish negligence under Indiana law, your personal injury lawyer will need to be able to prove each of the following four required factors:
- The defendant owed you a duty of care;
- The defendant breached their required duty of care;
- Causation existed between the defendant’s breach and your injuries; and
- You sustained real harm in the accident.
