Proving negligence

The cornerstone of almost all personal injury cases is proving the existence of negligence. However, depending on the complexity of your case, this may not be as simple as it sounds. In order to prove negligence, you must establish the following four basic elements:

• Duty of care: First, you must establish that the defendant had a duty of care towards you.
• Breach of duty: The defendant is liable for your injuries if they breached the duty of care owed to you. Proving that the duty of care has been breached is accomplished by showing that the defendant failed to show reasonable care by act or omission.
• Causation: With the help of a NJ accident attorney, you must show that had it not been for the defendant’s action or inaction, you would not have suffered an injury.
• Actual damages: Lastly, you must be able to show that the defendant’s breach of duty caused actual damages to you.
