What do I need to prove in a personal injury case?

When you take legal action against someone who you believe is responsible for causing your injury, you must prove 4 key points in your case. These are:

• Duty of Care: You must be able to show that the defendant had a responsibility to take reasonable care to prevent an injury.
• Breach of Duty: You must be able to show that the defendant violated his or her duty of care by acting negligently.
• Cause: You must be able to show that the breach of duty led to your injuries.
• Damages: In order to pursue a lawsuit, you must be able to show the total value of your injury-related costs for which you are seeking financial compensation.
