Bermuda Dunes Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care.

For instance:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

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

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant violated their duty of care by acting (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that any reasonable individual would not under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. This involves two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the direct cause of the injury (e.g., running a red light caused a car crash).

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

4. Damages

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

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is critical to winning a case. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Bermuda Dunes Personal Injury Lawyers are here to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
