Kensington Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care.

For instance:

– 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 violated their duty of care by behaving (or neglecting necessary actions) 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 demonstrate that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. This entails 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 suffered actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is essential to winning a case. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Kensington Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
