Is Your Case a Rutter Mills Case?
Personal injury cases in Newport News are decided based on negligence, which occurs when there is “a failure to behave with ordinary prudence.” Negligence may include action or inaction, depending on the situation. To proceed with the claim, your lawyer must prove the other party had a “duty of care,” or in other words, a legal obligation to you that required adherence to reasonable care to prevent harm.
If you were injured by negligent action or inaction, you may file a claim for the cost of medical care and lost wages. If you recently lost a spouse, parent, or child, you may be able to recover damages to cover funeral and burial expenses, as well as loss of support, companionship, or guidance.
Proving Fault
Virginia is one of the few places in the US that bars a person’s right to file a lawsuit if any portion of the liability is assigned to him or her. Basically, if you were in any way at fault for the incident which led to your injuries, you can’t file a lawsuit. If it’s determined you are even 1% at fault for causing the accident, a judge can deny your right to pursue a lawsuit against the other party. The first thing insurance companies will try is to get you to admit fault. That’s why it’s critical to consult an injury lawyer, like the specialists at Rutter Mills in Newport News.
