What Do I Need to Prove to Receive Personal Injury Compensation?
To receive personal injury compensation, you must meet all the elements. You must prove each of the following:
- Duty and breach of duty – Breach of the duty of care establishes the legal fault of the defendant. Intentional conduct is not required. A claim may be brought against a party who is responsible for causing an accident through negligence. Recklessness and intentional conduct are also conduct that qualifies. (Note: Proving the improper conduct of another party is not required in a product liability case; instead, you must prove that the product is defective.)
- An accident occurred – It’s not enough that the defendant acted negligently. Their actions must be the cause of an accident.
- Injury to the victim – To have a personal injury claim, the victim must suffer harm. The injuries to the victim must result from the defendant’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct. A physical injury or property damage must result for the victim to bring a claim.
- Damages – Once the victim establishes injuries because of the defendant’s actions, they may claim damages. They may claim economic and non-economic losses.
It’s important to have evidence to prove each element of the claim. Our lawyers ensure that your case is built thoroughly.
What Evidence Do I Need to Prove a Personal Injury Claim?
Once you know what you need to prove, the next question is what evidence you need. Our lawyers work diligently to gather the evidence that you need to make your claim successful. You may rely on any of the following evidence:
- Eyewitness testimony
- Photographs
- Video
- Damaged property and structures
- Your own statements
- Employment records and logs of work activity
- Laws and regulations that provide guidance as to reasonable conduct
- Medical records
- Experts who can explain complex medical or technical information
- Other written records – emails, documents (including electronic records)
- Items gained during the discovery process like admissions and statements during deposition
The evidence that you need varies from case to case. It isn’t necessarily the amount of evidence or the number of witnesses. Our lawyers look at the entire situation to build a compelling claim that meets the elements of your case. Building the evidence is extremely important. It puts you in a strong position to negotiate a fair resolution to your case or reach a favorable result at trial.

Personal Injury FAQs
Is it too late for me to bring a personal injury claim?
In general, the time limit to bring a personal injury claim is two years from the injury. But there are some important exceptions that may make the time frame longer or shorter.
The best thing to do is to contact our personal injury lawyers as soon as possible to review your case.
What is my personal injury case worth?
California law allows you to claim compensation for economic and non-economic damages. Medical bills, rehabilitation, income loss and property damage are some of the economic damages that you can claim. Your medical expenses may also include care that you expect to need in the future. Non-economic damages are pain and suffering, anguish, personal disfigurement and other intangible losses.
A personal injury case is worth an amount that reflects the actual losses and suffering that the victim endures because of their injury. Do not underestimate the value of your case! It’s easy to overlook the impact on your life. Our lawyers ensure that you claim what your personal injury case is worth.
Can I still claim damages if I played a role in the accident?
California has generous comparative negligence laws. Although the compensation that you receive may be reduced because of shared fault, you may still receive a portion of your damages. Legal fault is factored into the amount that you receive for a claim. However, California law does not completely bar you from bringing a personal injury claim. You may still receive some compensation.
Don’t assume that you have shared fault just because the defense says so. Contact our lawyers to talk about what comparative fault is and whether it may impact your legal claim.
