Winters Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, proving negligence is crucial. 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 avoid causing harm.

For instance:

– A driver’s duty to obey traffic laws and operate their vehicle safely.

– Keeping properties safe for guests.

2. Breach of Duty

The defendant failed to uphold their duty of care by behaving (or omitting action) in a way that any reasonable individual would not under similar circumstances.

Examples include:

– Traffic violations such as speeding.

– Ignoring a hazardous condition on a property.

3. Causation

The plaintiff must show that the defendant’s breach of duty led to their harm. This involves two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the immediate 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 actual harm or losses as a result the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Demonstrating all four elements is necessary to achieving success in an injury claim. Don’t face this on your own. Our Winters Personal Injury Lawyers are ready to fight for your rights. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a no-obligation consultation.
