Teviston Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

To establish liability in an injury case, the concept of negligence forms the basis. To win in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must establish the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility 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 failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a prudent person would never under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. This entails 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 caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Establishing all four elements is essential to winning a case. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Teviston Personal Injury Lawyers are prepared to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
