Barstow Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to avoid causing harm.

This might involve:

– A driver’s duty to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicle safely.

– A property owner’s duty to maintain safe premises for visitors.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by acting negligently (or failing to act) in a way that any reasonable individual would never under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty led to their harm. This entails two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the immediate cause of the injury (for instance, a red light violation directly caused a collision).

Proximate Cause: The injury was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s actions.

4. Damages

The plaintiff must have experienced real harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is critical to securing compensation. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Barstow Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are here to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
