Pacheco Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

For instance:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant breached their duty of care by behaving (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must demonstrate 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 incurred tangible harm or losses caused by 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 essential to winning a case. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Pacheco Personal Injury Lawyers are here to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
