How is negligence established?
In order to establish that a defendant was negligent, and therefore should be responsible for damages incurred by you, it must be shown:
-the defendant owed a duty to use reasonable care to you; -the defendant breached that duty by acting unreasonably, or by failing to act when the
defendant had a duty to act; -it was foreseeable that by acting unreasonably, the defendant would cause injury to
you; -the defendant’s actions or inactions caused your injury. |
