London Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, negligence is the legal theory. To prevail in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must demonstrate the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff to avoid causing harm.

For instance:

– A driver’s duty to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicle safely.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that any reasonable individual would never under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– 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 led to their harm. This entails 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 actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
