Dunnigan Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

In an injury claim, proving negligence is crucial. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must establish the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

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

For instance:

– 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 acting negligently (or failing to act) in a way that any reasonable individual would not under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– 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 immediate 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 actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is essential to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Dunnigan Personal Injury Lawyers are prepared to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
