Kep’el Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

When pursuing a personal 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 legal responsibility to the plaintiff to avoid causing harm.

For instance:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or omitting action) in a way that any reasonable individual would not under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. This involves two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the immediate 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 real harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
