Paxton Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

Examples include:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant violated their duty of care by acting (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a prudent person would not under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show 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 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 incurred actual harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
