Rose Hills Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

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 behaving (or omitting action) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– 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 entails two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the clear 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 suffered tangible harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is essential to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Rose Hills Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
