Legal Assistance May Make a Difference in Your Case
When you or a family member suffers injuries in an accident someone else caused, you should not be expected to handle the legal process on your own, as recuperating is your main priority. Your Nashville failure to yield accident attorney will be dedicated to your case and fight for the best outcome for you. Once you talk about the accident with one of our representatives and later a lawyer, we take it from there.
We will handle phone calls with the other party’s insurance company, as well as any communication with the other party and their legal advocate. We are familiar with insurance companies and know the tactics they tend to use to downplay a claim in order to award a claimant less money than they deserve. We can negotiate with them to ensure you and your family get the financial recovery that will help you with moving forward after an impactful accident. If we are unable to come to an agreement with the insurance company regarding your settlement, we may file a lawsuit, taking the insurance company to court and fighting for a fair financial award there.
We will also collect evidence that can strengthen your cases, like pictures and video footage of the scene (if available) and the crash report. If there were any witnesses to the accident, we may interview them for relevant information if you took down their contact information. We may also speak with your doctor to obtain you or your loved one’s medical records to establish the link between injuries and the accident. If a family member lost their life in a failure-to-yield accident, we offer our deepest condolences and can help file a wrongful death lawsuit against the careless party who is responsible for this unimaginable loss.

Proving Negligence in a Failure-to-Yield Accident
After this avoidable accident, knowing that another motorist failed to yield, striking you, you are likely eager to be financially compensated because you should not be responsible for any expenses that come of it. However, it needs to be proven that the other party acted negligently for you to be able to acquire a monetary award. By reviewing the four elements of negligence, you can establish that the other party is responsible for the accident and your injuries. The four tenets of negligence are:
- Duty of care: the liable party owed you a duty of care; they should keep everyone they are sharing the road with safe.
- Breach of duty of care: the negligent motorist breached this duty by failing to practice safety while driving, harming you.
- Causation: the other party’s breach of duty caused your injuries.
- Damages: you suffered damages and should receive a financial award to recover losses.
Your Nashville failure to yield accident lawyer will be committed to holding the liable party accountable for their carelessness that caused your injuries. We do not shy away from tough cases; we are prepared to defend your rights.
