If you’re hurt because someone else did something wrong, you might think about filing a claim or taking them to court. Here’s what you need to prove to win:
1. Duty of Care: Show that the person who caused your injury was supposed to be careful and not hurt you. For example, drivers must drive safely.
2. Breach of Duty: Prove they didn’t do what they were supposed to, like if they were texting while driving.
3. Cause of Your Injury: You must link their mistake directly to your injury. If they crashed into you because they ran a red light, their action caused your injury.
4. Damages: Finally, you need to show your injury led to specific losses, such as medical bills, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
Evidence like medical records, bills, and photos can help prove your case. It helps the court see why you deserve to win.
