Boronda Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, negligence is the legal theory. To prevail in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must establish the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

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

Examples include:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

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

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove 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 (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 incurred tangible harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Boronda Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
