Diamond Bar Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

In an injury claim, the concept of negligence forms the basis. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must demonstrate the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care.

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 acting (or failing to act) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. 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 incurred tangible 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 critical to securing compensation. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Diamond Bar Personal Injury Lawyers are prepared to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
