Callender Auto Accident Lawyers

To establish liability in an injury case, the concept of negligence forms the basis. To win in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must prove the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a obligation to the plaintiff to avoid causing harm.

For instance:

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

Examples include:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

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 (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 incurred actual harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Psychological trauma.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
