Mather Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

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

1. Duty of Care

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

Examples include:

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

– 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 omitting action) in a way that a reasonable person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

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

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the direct 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 suffered actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is essential to winning a case. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Mather Personal Injury Lawyers are here to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
