How Our Distracted Driving Accident Lawyers Investigate Claims in Dayton
Proving the driver who caused your accident was distracted is challenging. When our legal team accepts your case, we will accept responsibility for proving its cause. To start, we will aim to prove the legal elements of negligence, including:
- Duty of care: The at-fault driver owed you a duty of reasonable care.
- Breach of duty: The at-fault party failed to meet their legal duty.
- Causation: The liable party’s action caused the accident.
- Damages: You experienced measurable financial and non-financial consequences because of the collision.
To prove these elements, our experienced car accident lawyers will build a comprehensive case file. Our familiarity with claims like yours could also mean we can access evidence and information you might find hard to obtain on your own.
What Is Considered Distracted Driving in Ohio?
