Paynes Creek 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.

– 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 neglecting necessary actions) in a way that any reasonable individual 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 directly caused their injury. This requires 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 experienced actual harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Paynes Creek Personal Injury Lawyers are here to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
