Portola Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff to act reasonably.

Examples include:

– A driver’s duty to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicle safely.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant violated their duty of care by behaving (or failing to act) in a way that a reasonable person 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 led to their harm. This requires two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the direct 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 due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is necessary to securing compensation. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Portola Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are ready to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
