Personal Injuries
Personal injury cases arise when one person or entity causes physical, emotional, or reputational harm to another person.
The three grounds on which you can file a personal injury claim are:
- Negligence (the most common)
- Strict Liability
- Intentional Wrongs
The failure of the defendant to fulfill their duty of care resulting in an act or omission that puts others at risk of injury is considered negligence. It has four key elements, namely:
- Damages – The plaintiff suffered compensable losses as a result of the accident.
- Duty of care owed – The defendant owed the plaintiff a duty of care.
- Duty of care breached – The defendant failed to fulfill their duty due to a careless act or failure to act.
- Causation – The defendant’s breach of duty was the proximate (main) cause of the accident.
