Kep’el Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

To establish liability in an injury case, the concept of negligence forms the basis. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must demonstrate the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a obligation to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care.

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 violated their duty of care by acting negligently (or failing to act) in a way that any reasonable individual would never 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 show 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 (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 incurred real 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.

Proving all four elements is critical to winning a case. Don’t face this on your own. Our Kep'el Personal Injury Lawyers are here to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
