Williams Pedestrian Accident Lawyers

To establish liability in an injury case, negligence is the legal theory. To win 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 act reasonably.

This might involve:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

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.

This can look like:

– Running a red light or speeding.

– Failing to repair unsafe conditions.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty led to their harm. This entails 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 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.

Demonstrating all four elements is critical to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t face this on your own. Our Williams Pedestrian Accident Lawyers are prepared to stand by your side. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
