Pursuing Damages Through a Negligence Claim
Every day, people suffer serious injuries as the result of car accident and motorcycle collisions, workplace mishaps, improper medical treatments, slip and falls, and other preventable events. In many of these situations, a legal claim arises when the accident is caused by the carelessness of another individual or business. Typically, this type of lawsuit is brought under the theory of negligence, which is, simply put, the failure to behave with reasonable care.
Although the factual circumstances of each case will be different, establishing a negligence claim in New Hampshire requires proof of the same elements: duty, breach, causation, and damages. The plaintiff has the burden to prove that the defendant owed the victim a duty, the defendant breached that duty, the defendant’s actions were the proximate cause of the victim’s injuries, and the plaintiff suffered damages.
What is Duty of Care?
Generally, every person has a duty to exercise care and avoid behaving in a manner that puts others at foreseeable risk of harm. However, depending on the type of defendant and the circumstances surrounding the injury, the specific duty, or standard of care, to which the defendant is held will vary.
For instance, drivers have a duty to exercise reasonable care while operating any vehicle. A driver breaches this duty when he or she fails to obey traffic regulations and other general rules of the road, or engages in other reckless conduct.
