Monterey Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

Examples include:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or failing to act) in a way that any reasonable individual would not under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant’s breach of duty was the reason for their injury. This requires 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 tangible harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
