Negligence in Personal Injury Accidents

In order to qualify for a personal injury claim, the plaintiff must first establish negligence on the part of the defendant. Here are the steps needed to prove negligence.

  1. The plaintiff proves they are owed a duty of care by the defendant.
  2. The plaintiff then needs to show exactly how that duty of care was breached and how the defendant failed to meet that duty.
  3. The plaintiff must then prove real injuries and damages caused by the breach of a duty of care by the defendant.

A duty of care is a person’s responsibility to avoid causing injury to another. For example, a reckless driver who injured a pedestrian owed that person a duty of care, which was breached through the driver’s recklessness.
