How do you prove negligence?
Every case has at least two sides however, it is
responsibility of
person making
claim (the claimant) to prove his case and persuade
Court that
person who they feel is to blame for
accident (the defendant) was in breach of statutory or common law duty owed to him or her. There are several types of evidence that would support a claimant’s case and help to prove negligence. They are as follows:
•Witness statements •Medical records •Expert evidence •Employment records and occupational health file •Photographic and video evidence •Invoices, estimates and receipts •Reports from public servants such as police officers
These pieces of evidence can apply to any of
personal injury types outlined above.
It also needs to be proven that
defendant owes him a duty of care, that
defendant is in breach of that duty and that
breach has caused losses (i.e. damage to property, or a personal injury) which were reasonably foreseeable. It is important to remember however that an employer’s duty of care is not conclusive. A duty of reasonable care is expected from employers. Individuals should take a certain amount of care towards their own personal wellbeing and safety and realise that accidents can happen.
