Fullerton Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

In an injury claim, negligence is the legal theory. To win in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must prove the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

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

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 behaving (or omitting action) in a way that a reasonable person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must demonstrate 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 experienced real harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.
