Huron Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

In an injury claim, negligence is the legal theory. To prevail 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.

For instance:

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

This can look like:

– Running a red light or 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 clear cause of the injury (e.g., running a red light caused a car crash).

Proximate Cause: The injury was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s actions.

4. Damages

The plaintiff must have experienced tangible harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.
