Garnet Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

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

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.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant violated their duty of care by acting (or failing to act) in a way that any reasonable individual would never under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty was the reason for their injury. 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 suffered real harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is essential to securing compensation. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Garnet Pedestrian Accident Lawyers are prepared to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
