Fairmead Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a obligation to the plaintiff to avoid causing harm.

Examples include:

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

– A property owner’s duty to maintain safe premises for visitors.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a prudent person would not under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show 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 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 incurred tangible harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Establishing all four elements is essential to securing compensation. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Fairmead Personal Injury Lawyers are here to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
