Walnut Grove Personal Injury Lawyers

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 breached their duty of care by acting negligently (or neglecting necessary actions) in a way that a reasonable 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 requires 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 suffered real harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Bodily harm.

– Psychological trauma.

– Monetary damages such as medical bills or lost wages.
