Car Accidents in California
Motor vehicle accidents cause hundreds of thousands of injuries across California each year. When someone experiences their first car accident, they might feel uncertain about how to pursue compensation from the party at fault. Many accidents occur due to poor decisions made by drivers. When an individual is injured, they need to demonstrate that the other driver behaved negligently. This requires meeting four key elements of fault:
- Duty: The injured party must prove that the other driver owed them a duty of care. As drivers, we are obligated to operate our vehicles with consideration and caution for others.
- Breach: Drivers must consistently uphold their duty of care by behaving reasonably. Reasonableness is determined by evaluating what an average driver would do given the circumstances of the accident. If an average driver, knowing the risks, would have acted differently but the negligent driver did not, they are considered to have breached their duty through negligence.
- Causation: The injured party must demonstrate that their injuries or property damage directly resulted from the negligent actions of the other driver.
- Damages: The victim of a car accident must prove that the negligent driver’s actions caused financial losses that warrant compensation. Common damages include medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other related losses.
