How is Liability Determined in Personal Injury Cases?
We determine liability based on four factors:
- Duty of care: We assess whether the other party had a duty of care, implying an obligation to take prudent and reasonable actions to prevent an accident. This duty varies based on the specific circumstances of each case.
- Breach of duty: Our legal team examines whether there was a breach in the duty of care. This breach indicates a failure on the part of the responsible party to meet the expected standard of care, allowing the accident to occur.
- Injury causation: We establish a direct link between the accident and your injuries. If your injuries can be attributed to the negligence or intentional actions of the other party, it strengthens the case for liability.
- Damages: An essential aspect is determining whether you have suffered damages. This includes medical bills or lost wages due to the accident. Documenting the tangible and intangible losses you have experienced is crucial in building a compelling case for compensation.
At Hollingsworth Law Firm, we meticulously analyze these factors to establish liability and build a strong foundation for your personal injury claim. Our goal is to ensure that those responsible are held accountable and you receive the compensation necessary to address the consequences of the accident.

I had the pleasure of working on a trial with Steven last August. His background as an ADA is clearly evident in the courtroom. Steven's presentation of the evidence throughout trial is that of a seasoned attorney who has spent many hours in front of a jury. His opening/closings were excellent, as well as his strategic litigating throughout the trial. Steven is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with, and watch in the courtroom.
When I met Steve, I was a legal assistant at a Plaintiff’s firm and he was working as an attorney for AIG. We connected there and then. Steve is a likable guy and an outstanding trial lawyer. He is charismatic and jurors like him. He is a Plaintiff’s lawyer now and he has the right skill set to represent injured individuals: he is compassionate, honest, and sincere and will go the extra mile for his clients. I’ve known Steve for almost 8 years now and I’m excited to see his career evolve.
