L&F Brown: California's Most Trusted Injury Law Firm

Causation

“Causation is the connection between a defendant’s conduct and the plaintiff’s injury. In a legal context, it must be shown that the defendant’s action (or inaction) directly caused the harm.”

Even if someone acted negligently, there must be a clear link between that behavior and your injury. This is what causation establishes — and it can be one of the most hotly debated elements in a case.

Medical records, expert testimony, and detailed evidence help show how the incident led to your injuries, rather than something else.

If the other side is disputing causation, legal support can help tie your injuries directly to the event. Reach out for guidance.
