Compton Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, negligence is the legal theory. To prevail in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must demonstrate the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care.

This might involve:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant breached their duty of care by acting (or failing to act) in a way that a reasonable 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 prove 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 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 suffered tangible harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is critical to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t face this on your own. Our Compton Personal Injury Lawyers are prepared to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
