Sebastopol Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

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

Examples include:

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

– 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 failing to act) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant’s breach of duty was the reason for their injury. This requires two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the immediate 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 as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.
