Calpella Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

In an injury claim, negligence is the legal theory. 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.

This might involve:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

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

This can look like:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

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

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the immediate 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 suffered real harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is essential to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Calpella Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
