Blue Lake Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff to act reasonably.

Examples include:

– 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 neglecting necessary actions) in a way that any reasonable individual would not under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

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

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the clear 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.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is necessary to securing compensation. Don’t face this on your own. Our Blue Lake Personal Injury Lawyers are prepared to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
