Tustin Personal Injury 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 acting (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a reasonable person would never under similar circumstances.

Common breaches involve:

– Traffic violations such as 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 requires 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 incurred tangible harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is necessary to securing compensation. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Tustin Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a free consultation.
