Verdi Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

To establish liability in an injury case, negligence is the legal theory. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must establish the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff to avoid causing harm.

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 violated their duty of care by acting (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that any reasonable individual would never under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

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 experienced actual harm or losses due to 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 essential to winning a case. Don’t navigate this process alone. Our Verdi Pedestrian Accident Lawyers are prepared to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
