Denver General Negligence Attorneys

Personal injury law revolves around the legal concept of negligence. It’s important for anyone who experiences a personal injury from another party to know the definition of general negligence and how it applies to civil actions. A reliable and experienced personal injury attorney can help a plaintiff identify the elements of negligence in a case to increase the plaintiff’s chances of success in a personal injury claim. Denver individuals who have suffered from a personal injury due to negligence can find the right legal help from our attorneys at Varner Faddis Elite Legal.

Personal Injuries & General Negligence

A plaintiff must prove four basic elements of general negligence to succeed in a personal injury lawsuit, including:

  • Duty. The plaintiff first needs to prove the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. For example, a driver generally has a legal duty to not cause an accident with another motorist.
  • Breach. Next, the plaintiff has to show how the defendant breached this duty of care. In most cases, the breach of duty is a specific action, but it may also apply to a failure to act when another reasonable individual in the same situation would have likely taken appropriate measures.
  • Damages. The plaintiff can only file a lawsuit if the defendant’s actions resulted in some kind of tangible or measurable loss. Even if a defendant was negligent, if the plaintiff did not suffer any actual harm or financial loss, there are no grounds for a personal injury claim.
  • Causation. Once the plaintiff proves the extent of his or her damages, the plaintiff must then establish that those damages were the direct result of the defendant’s negligence or would not have happened if not for the defendant’s negligence.

The average American adult will have many duties of care throughout his or her lifetime. For example, drivers have a duty to other drivers to obey the traffic laws and refrain from speeding. Medical professionals have a duty of care to prevent harm to their patients. Teachers and childcare providers have a duty to provide responsible supervision and childcare for the children for whom they are responsible.

Damages and Compensation

A plaintiff in a personal injury claim who successfully proves that a defendant was negligent can secure compensation for all losses resulting from the defendant’s negligence. This may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and possibly punitive damages and attorneys’ fees as well, if a defendant’s behavior was grossly negligent or showed a reckless disregard for the safety of others.
