Collecting the compensation you deserve
Proving Negligence in a Personal Injury Claim. When you sustain an injury because of somebody else’s
negligence, you likely have a lot of questions. Who is responsible for my injuries? Who will pay for my medical
care and time off work? Or, how do I hold someone responsible if they’re denying liability? The
Chicago and St. Louis based personal injury lawyers at Burger Law are here to help. We have
answered those questions for hundreds of clients throughout Missouri and Illinois. If you have been injured in an
accident that wasn’t your fault, call us today at (314) 500-HURT or contact us
online for a free case evaluation.
Our Missouri and Illinois personal injury law firm uses our
knowledge, two decades of experience and tenacity to maximize our clients’ compensation. However, before damages can
be awarded, liability needs to be determined. We get to the bottom of difficult cases and use evidence and our
network of medical and accident experts to determine legal liability. There are many factors that go into
determining who is liable for your injuries and why, and it often takes a legal expert to know how to do it. We know
how to prove when somebody owed you a responsibility to ensure your safety, and when they neglected the care a reasonable person would have given you. We charge no fees until we win your case.
While tort
law is always changing, there are currently five elements of negligence that your personal injury
lawyer must prove in order to win your case:
In car accident cases, breaking the law is inherently a breach of duty.
In medical malpractice, examples can include birth
injuries, missed diagnosis, incorrect diagnosis or unnecessary or botched surgery.

How to best prove negligence will depend on your specific injuries, what type of accident you were injured in, and
the specific circumstances of your accident. Even a standard car accident case can have a host of people who may be
liable, including the driver, a manufacturer, a mechanic, the local government or a third party construction crew.
In our 20 years of experience, the personal injury attorneys at Burger Law have seen every type of personal injury
claim and know exactly how to determine liability and negligence in your claim. Types of personal injury claims we
work with are:
However you received your injury and whoever is liable for negligence, Burger Law will ensure that the at-fault party
is held responsible and that you get the full compensation you deserve for your injuries.
If you have been injured because of somebody else’s negligence, trust in Burger Law to understand the ins-and-outs of
your case and make sure the liable party is held accountable for their actions. Call us today at (314) 500-HURT or contact us online for a complimentary consultation and to take the first step
