Chester Truck Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

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 failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or omitting action) in a way that a prudent person would not under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty was the reason for their injury. 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 suffered actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
