Palmdale 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.

– A property owner’s duty to maintain safe premises for visitors.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant breached their duty of care by acting negligently (or omitting action) in a way that any reasonable individual would not 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 prove 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 immediate 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 real harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.
