Virtually every civil lawsuit has two components to be proved by plaintiff to win the case: liability and damages. In a car accident it is sometimes unclear who was At Fault.Sometimes both were at fault either equally or in different degrees of comparison. If plaintiff fails to prove defendant was negligent, then defendant is not liable for plaintiff's injuries, no matter how serious. The key to a defendant winning a case like that is to focus on the issue of liability, meaning defendant contests the issue of his negligence and therefore his liability for damages. There are some cases where the extent of the injuries is not a real issue, but liability is. In such cases, a defendant might contest liability only with the damages being a foregone conclusion.
