Tomales Motorcycle Accident Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a legal responsibility to the plaintiff to exercise reasonable care.

This might involve:

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

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or omitting action) in a way that a reasonable person would not under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty led to their harm. This involves two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the clear 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 experienced 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.

Establishing all four elements is necessary to securing compensation. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Tomales Motorcycle Accident Lawyers are here to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
