Free Book on Charlottesville Personal Injury Cases for Children
In order to recover a settlement in a Charlottesville personal injury case, you must be able to prove negligence. This means that the person who injured you was either breaking a law or failed to use ordinary care. Examples of this are running a red light or driving too fast on a dark, rainy night. Contributory negligence is when a defendant, typically the injured victim, has actually contributed to their own injury by being negligent and therefore cannot recover damages. There is an exception to this when the defendant is a child under 7 years old. For example, if a child runs out in the street to get a ball and a driver is speeding and hits the child, the child cannot be contributory negligent unless they are older than 7 years old. If this same situation occurred with a 12 year old, the insurance company will try to claim contributory negligence so they won't have to pay.
