Mendota Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

For instance:

– 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 neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a reasonable person would never under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty was the reason for their injury. This entails two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the direct 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 tangible 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.
