Coloma Pedestrian Accident 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 legal responsibility to the plaintiff to act reasonably.

Examples include:

– A driver’s duty to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicle safely.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant breached their duty of care by behaving (or omitting action) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– 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 entails two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the clear 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 experienced actual harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Establishing all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Coloma Pedestrian Accident Lawyers are prepared to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
