Who Is at Fault for My Personal Injury?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

Determining fault in a personal injury case is critical to the success of your lawsuit and to your ability to recover financial damages. This is not as simple as it may seem because more than one party could have been negligent, and you could also have partial responsibility for what happened.

Craig Swapp & Associates can review the details of your accident and help you to determine the answer to the following question: “Who is at fault for my personal injury?”

Who Caused Your Accident?

Determining who caused your accident is often at least partially indicated by the type of accident you were injured in:

Slip-and-Fall Accidents – Where were you when you fell? Who owned the property? Was someone else responsible for maintaining it? These are questions that must be answered to determine who was at fault. For example, if you were injured at the entrance to a store, the retailer may have been responsible for any dangerous circumstances, but so could the property manager and the owner of the building.
Truck Accident – In many cases, both the truck driver and the trucking company share responsibility for a crash. We will investigate the accident, review maintenance logs, and conduct depositions to find out if one or both parties were at fault.
Construction Accident – If you were injured in a construction zone, there are numerous parties that could be responsible. A construction company, government agency, equipment manufacturer, and others could all have some level of responsibility.
Product Liability – When someone is harmed by a bad product, the manufacturer, distributor, retailer, and even marketing company could be liable.

Given the complexity of most personal injury cases, a complete investigation of your accident is required to identify all negligent parties. This is necessary for ensuring that you have the opportunity to name each one in your lawsuit so that you can receive the maximum compensation possible. Once your case settles, you cannot go back and sue another party, making it important to get this right at the outset.

Proving Negligence in a Personal Injury Case

There is no such thing as a simple personal injury case. Even if you were rear-ended by another driver, his or her insurance company may try to prove that you were somehow responsible for the accident. This makes it imperative to have the strongest case possible so that any claims made by the insurer or opposing attorneys can be disproven or mitigated.

We will gather evidence that can be used to make a strong argument in court. This may include any of the following items:

Accident and incident reports
Witness statements and testimony
Video footage and photographs of the accident scene and your injuries
Medical reports and expert testimony
And more

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
