What Are The Legal Elements Of A Car Accident Case?

When one of our lawyers starts working on a case, he or she considers the legal theory of the case. This theory helps tie a case together from beginning to end.

Some car accidents involve extreme recklessness, but most involve a legal theory called negligence. To establish negligence in a car accident or truck accident case, a lawyer must show the following legal elements:

  • As a reasonably prudent person, the defendant had a basic duty to act in a careful manner while driving.
  • In some manner, the defendant breached his or her duty of care.
  • The defendant’s breach of his or her duty of care directly caused the car accident.
  • The victim sustained damages in the car accident.

An attorney at Le & Kittleson, can discuss these elements with you to assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case.

What Is A Duty Of Care? What Is A Breach Of Duty?

When someone drives a vehicle, he or she implicitly agrees to follow all traffic rules and take steps to prevent injuries to others. This is called the duty of care.

If a driver fails to act in a reasonably prudent manner such as another person would act under the same scenario, he or she has breached the duty of care owed to other individuals on the roadway.
