A Strong Defense when You’re Accused
Victims are often accused of being partially responsible for their accident. It’s a tactic used by legal teams to minimize their clients’ payouts. Without knowing, victims could inadvertently accept some partial blame and lose out on funds that can be crucial to their recovery. In some cases, the claim is dismissed entirely.
Although few accidents are the fault of a single party, accepting even part of the blame could hurt your lawsuit. That’s why your West Palm Beach personal injury attorney will handle all communications with the at-fault party. If the at-fault party is trying to pin the blame on you, your lawyer will help you gather evidence that proves the contrary.
