Important Elements of Negligence Needed to Win an Injury Claim

If you were harmed due to negligence, you deserve to be compensated! However, before you are able to receive compensation for your injuries, you must be able to prove that the other party involved in your accident was acting out of negligence. Negligence is defined as “conduct which falls short of reasonable standards for protecting a person from foreseeable risks of harm.”

Duty of Care - The first element of negligence that you must prove is that you were denied a “duty of care”. Most businesses, individuals, and companies have a duty of care to avoid causing harm to others. You must be able to prove that an individual had a responsibility to avoid causing harm to you or your loved one.

Breached Duty of Care - This element requires that you prove how the negligent party breached their duty of care and caused you harm.

Breach of Duty was Direct Cause of Injury - In order to have a successful injury case, you must prove that a negligent act from the other party was a direct and proximate cause of your damages.

Verifiable Damages Suffered- Once you have proven the first three steps of negligence, you must be able to prove that there is compensation owed for the extent and nature of your damages. Damages are usually divided into two categories: special damages (or economic damages) and general damages (or non-economic damages).

Once you are able to prove these elements of negligence, you will have a better chance of receiving fair compensation for an injury claim.
