WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

‘Superior Knowledge’ and a Team Effort

One major challenge with this is that many who have been infected with COVID-19 were asymptomatic and could have passed the virus on unknowingly, which makes it difficult to prove a breach of duty. Proving Causation The second challenge to this type of personal injury claim is establishing that the defendant’s breach of duty is what caused you to suffer injuries. More specifically, you must be able to show that the defendant was the specific person who gave you the virus. This can be difficult, of course, because of the prevalence of COVID-19. Accounting for Contributory Fault If you are able to prove negligence and causation, there’s one final hurdle: assessing what’s called contributory fault. Essentially, a defendant can claim that you are also to blame for the infection if you did not take every necessary precaution to protect yourself. If you weren’t adhering to masking and social distancing guidelines, the defendant may be able to prove you were at least partially to blame for contracting the virus. While this may not disqualify your case entirely, be aware that it can reduce the compensation you’re awarded if your claim is successful. To better understand how these three elements may affect your case, contact one of our experienced attorneys at The Law Offices of Marc L. Shapiro, P.A.

“I had an excellent experience with attorney Randall Austin, Belinda, Shawn, and the staff at Marc Shapiro’s office! They have superior knowledge of their law practice, and there was a complete team effort amongst the staff. They responded promptly to my questions and concerns regarding my case (for eight long months), which was extremely supportive and comforting. I feel very fortunate to have had them represent me for my personal injury case. I’m very happy with my outcome, and I definitely recommend this office for representation.” –Libby
