Winton Rideshare Sexual Assault Lawyers

When pursuing a personal injury case, the concept of negligence forms the basis. 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 act reasonably.

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

Examples include:

– 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 led to their harm. This entails two types of causation:

Actual Cause: The defendant’s actions were the clear cause of the injury (e.g., running a red light caused a car crash).

Proximate Cause: The injury was a foreseeable result of the defendant’s actions.

4. Damages

The plaintiff must have incurred tangible harm or losses caused by the defendant’s actions.

This can include:

– Physical injuries.

– Emotional distress.

– Financial losses such as medical bills or lost wages.

Proving all four elements is critical to securing compensation. Don’t try to go it alone. Our Winton Personal Injury Lawyers are here to advocate for you. Call us at 866-846-5955 for a complimentary case review.
