El Centro Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to act reasonably.

This might involve:

– 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 neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. This involves 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 caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is critical to winning a case. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our El Centro Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
