How To Determine Fault in an Ivins Personal Injury Claim
Liability in personal injury cases in Utah is primarily determined using a modified comparative fault system with a 50 percent bar. Under this system, you can recover damages if you are 50 percent or less at fault.
However, if you are 51 percent or more responsible for your injuries, you will be barred from recovery. Along with this, your percentage of fault will reduce your compensation. For example, if you are 30 percent liable and the damages award is $100,000, you will be able to recover $70,000.
To prove the other party’s negligence and fault in Utah, you will need to establish the following:
- The defendant owed a duty of care – A driver owes a duty of care to others on the road to maintain safe driving practices and avoid causing harm.
- The duty was breached – If a driver texts while behind the wheel, this is a clear breach of their duty to maintain safe driving practices.
- The breach caused the injury – If texting and driving led to an accident in which a pedestrian was injured, this connects the breach to the injuries.
- Actual damages resulted – The pedestrian’s injuries must be transferred to calculable damages, such as medical bills, lost wages, and emotional trauma.
Several forms of evidence can be used to prove fault in a personal injury case, including police reports, witness statements, and expert opinions. Our hardworking personal injury lawyers in Ivins can help collect the necessary evidence to support your case.
Types of Compensation You Can Secure in Your Ivins Personal Injury Case
A successful personal injury case can result in numerous forms of compensation. You may be able to secure economic, non-economic, and punitive damages depending on the losses you experienced and the severity of your injuries.
Economic damages make up the tangible losses from an accident and can include the following:
- Medical bills, such as ambulance fees, hospital stays, and surgeries
- Lost wages from time off work and reduced earning capacity
- Property damage to your vehicle and other personal items
Non-economic damages consist of the more subjective losses you sustain, including the following:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional and psychological trauma
- Reduced quality and enjoyment of life
In cases of especially egregious behavior on the defendant’s part, the court may award punitive damages. These are often seen in cases involving extreme drunk driving, intentional harm, and wrongful death.
