Negligence Claims

To succeed in a negligence claim, the injured party must establish:

Duty of Care - The defendant owed a legal obligation to act with care toward the plaintiff.

Breach of Duty - The defendant failed to meet the standard of care expected under the circumstances.

Causation - The breach of duty directly caused the plaintiff’s injury or loss.

Damages - The plaintiff suffered measurable harm as a result of the breach.

Negligence claims can arise in a variety of contexts, including:

Motor Vehicle Accidents - Injuries caused by reckless or careless driving.

Premises Liability - Harm resulting from unsafe conditions on a property.

Professional Negligence - Failure by professionals, such as doctors or lawyers, to provide competent services.

Product Liability - Injuries caused by defective or dangerous products.

Workplace Accidents - Injuries due to unsafe working environments or employer negligence.

Pursuing a negligence claim can involve several challenges, including:

Proving Causation - Establishing a direct link between the defendant’s actions and the harm suffered.

Defendant Defenses - Counterclaims that the plaintiff contributed to their own injury (contributory or comparative negligence).

Statute of Limitations - Meeting the legal time frame for filing a claim.

Complex Evidence - Gathering and presenting medical, financial, or expert testimony to support the case.

Insurance Company Resistance - Overcoming attempts to minimize payouts or deny claims.
