To recover monetary compensation for personal injuries that you suffered in an accident caused by someone else, the reasonableness standard of care applies.
In Duluth, personal injury cases require the injured person (the plaintiff) to prove all of the legal elements of the claim, including damages. To establish the various elements of the claim, the accident victim may rely upon medical and lost wage documentation (including medical records, medical bills, and work schedules), photographs, police reports, and live testimony from lay witnesses and various experts, if the matter goes to trial.
