Bringing a Claim Against Another Motorist for Failure to Yield
If you or a loved one were involved in a car accident because another driver failed to yield, you may be exploring your legal options, but may be unsure of your rights in this situation.
Through a personal injury claim, you may be able to bring a civil action against the other driver. To win a personal injury claim for failure to yield, you and your attorney will need to show that:
- The other driver had a legal duty to follow North Carolina traffic laws and drive safely
- The other driver breached this duty by violating North Carolina law or driving with disregard for others’ safety
- You were injured because of the driver’s negligent actions
- You sustained damages because of your injuries
If you cannot prove that the other driver broke the law by failing to yield, you may still have a valid personal injury claim. You will need to show evidence of the driver’s breach of duty as well as evidence of the damages you experienced because of the accident. A Raleigh failure to yield accident lawyer from Tien Law Firm can help you obtain evidence and use it to support your case.
