Walker Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, proving negligence is crucial. To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party (plaintiff) must demonstrate the following four elements:

1. Duty of Care

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

This might involve:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

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

Examples include:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s breach of duty directly caused their injury. This involves 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 experienced actual harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.
