In auto-related personal injury cases, there are facts that you must prove to win your case. The main one is duty (responsibility). Duty means that a driver has the responsibility to follow all driving laws and in so doing provide a "duty of care" for those around him or her. If he or she fails, this is considered a breach of duty.

One important tip after a personal injury is to always answer any questions asked by police or doctors as honestly as possible. The truth is easy to defend. But different answers to questions about what happened and how you feel can make it look like you are not honest and perhaps exaggerating your injuries.
