Anyone who suffers losses as a result of a collision brought on by the carelessness or negligence of another motorist may be eligible for financial compensation by filing a personal injury claim. In this kind of civil litigation, the injured party must prove that the at-fault party violated a duty of care that the at-fault party owed them (such as driving lawfully and safely), that the breach resulted in the accident and its consequences, and that the violation was the main reason for the accident.
