Brooktrails Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

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 breached their duty of care by behaving (or failing to act) in a way that a reasonable person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty was the reason for their injury. This involves two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the immediate 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 suffered actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t face this on your own. Our Brooktrails Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
