Lomita Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to act reasonably.

Examples include:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– A property owner’s duty to maintain safe premises for visitors.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by acting negligently (or failing to act) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty led to their harm. This entails 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 actual harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Establishing all four elements is necessary to securing compensation. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Lomita Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are ready to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
