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- Most businesses, individuals, and companies have a duty of care to to act reasonably to avoid causing harm, and sometimes to take active reasonable measures to avoid causing harm. 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.

“In the midst of a suspected fraudulent financial dealing, we contacted our trusted advisor for a legal referral. He recommended Steve Meshbesher, who has a vast range of legal knowledge and experience. Steve was immediately concerned and gave us some very sage advice, which we eventually heeded. As the local police helped us with the case, Steve, completely on his own, checked to make sure that we were being treated well. Our only regret is that we did not contact him sooner. He gave us the courage to act on our own behalf.”- Allan and Jewell
