Sage Auto Accident Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, the concept of negligence forms the basis. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must prove the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

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

For instance:

– 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 acting negligently (or failing to act) in a way that a prudent person would not under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– 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 involves 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 tangible harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.
