Windsor Personal Injury Lawyers

1. Duty of Care

The defendant owed a obligation to the plaintiff to act reasonably.

For instance:

– Drivers following traffic laws and driving responsibly.

– A property owner’s duty to maintain safe premises for visitors.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant violated their duty of care by acting negligently (or failing to act) in a way that a prudent person would not under similar circumstances.

This can look like:

– 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 was the reason for their injury. This requires 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 suffered real harm or losses due to the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Pain and suffering.

– Psychological trauma.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t face this on your own. Our Windsor Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
