How to prove liability?

If you were injured because someone else failed to act safely or reasonably, you may have a personal injury claim. Evidence can help establish what happened and who was responsible. Depending on your case, this may include accident reports, photographs, video, witness statements, medical records, and other documentation.

Depending on your case, that may involve establishing:

  • Duty of Care: The other person/party had a responsibility to act reasonably or safely.
  • Negligence: They failed to meet that responsibility through an action or failure to act.
  • Causation: Their actions or negligence caused your accident and injuries.
  • Damages: You suffered losses because of the injury, such as medical expenses, lost income, pain, or other impacts.

Even if you're unsure who was at fault or believe you may have been partially responsible, you may still have a claim under Utah law. Every accident is different, and determining liability often requires a thorough investigation.
