Livermore Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

This might involve:

– 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 neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a reasonable person would not under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty led to their harm. This involves 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 incurred real harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Psychological trauma.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Livermore Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are prepared to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
