Canby Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

Examples include:

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

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

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 real harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is essential to securing compensation. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Canby Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are ready to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
