In the realm of personal injury cases, the process of demonstrating negligence plays a pivotal role. Negligence, a legal concept, refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm or serious injury to another individual.
To successfully prove negligence and seek appropriate compensation, it is crucial to understand the fundamental elements involved. By following these guidelines, we can more effectively navigate the complexities of establishing negligence in personal injury cases we handle.
1. Duty of Care: To establish negligence, it is imperative to demonstrate that the defendant owed a duty of care to the injured party. Duty of care refers to the legal obligation to act with reasonable caution and prudence to prevent foreseeable harm to others. This duty is often determined by considering the relationship between the parties involved and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
2. Breach of Duty: The next step in proving negligence is establishing that the defendant breached their duty of care. This entails demonstrating that the defendant failed to meet the standard of care expected in the given situation. It is essential to present evidence that illustrates how the defendant’s actions or lack thereof deviated from what a reasonably prudent person would have done in similar circumstances.
3. Causation: Causation plays a critical role in proving negligence. It requires establishing a direct link between the defendant’s breach of duty and the injuries sustained by the plaintiff. There are two key components to consider:
a. Factual Causation: This involves showing that the defendant’s actions were a factual cause of the plaintiff’s injuries. It requires demonstrating that “but for” the defendant’s breach, the injuries would not have occurred.
b. Proximate Causation: Also known as legal causation or foreseeability, this aspect examines whether the harm caused by the defendant’s breach of duty was reasonably foreseeable. It necessitates proving that the injuries suffered were a natural and foreseeable consequence of the defendant’s actions.
4. Damages: Finally, to successfully prove negligence, the plaintiff must demonstrate that they suffered actual damages due to the defendant’s breach of duty. These damages can include physical injuries, emotional distress, medical expenses, loss of income, and other quantifiable losses. It is crucial to gather and present relevant evidence, such as medical records, bills, and expert testimony, to substantiate the extent of the damages incurred.
By comprehensively addressing these elements, we can strengthen your case when seeking to establish negligence in your bodily injury claim.

In California, the most common types of serious injury cases involve car accidents (37%), slip and falls (17%), and medical malpractice (14%), according to Nolo.com. You have the right to seek compensation from the insurance companies and the defendant if you are injured and not at fault.
Whether it’s a car accident, bus accident, Uber/Lyft accident, or another type of personal injury like a dog attack or slip and fall, injured plaintiffs have an absolute right to seek fair compensation for everything they’ve gone through. That can include time off work, health issues related to the injury, loss of your vehicle, and other costs arising from the injury.
Representing yourself could cost you. Our accident attorney will give you the best personal attention to ensure a successful case. Contact a personal injury attorney near you for expert help.
The amount you could recover will depend on the extent of your injuries, the impact on your life, and the type of representation you have. An excellent personal injury lawyer with decades of experience in serious accident law can yield much higher settlements than someone unfamiliar with injury law, local courts, and defense teams.
Bisnar Chase is regularly sought after when an attorney struggles to get a fair settlement for their clients because we have the skill and knowledge to maximize the value of your accident claim and the resources to take your personal injury case further and with better results.
Because California has a strict 2-year statute of limitations, you must move quickly to secure counsel. Your attorney will have a lot of work ahead of them preparing your case and dealing with the insurance companies and issues that may come up, including whether the case is taken to trial.
Having everything in order and promptly turned over to your legal team is vital to achieving the best outcome. California law is clear on your time limits to file.
Most accident and injury claims are settled out of court with the insurance companies, but a percentage will go to trial. If you hire a personal injury attorney with little to no trial experience, you risk a poor result or having to transfer your case to a more experienced lawyer later.
That can have a detrimental impact on your injury case. All of our lawyers are trained trial attorneys. We’ve spent decades in and out of California courts, and we will always do what is best for you, not us.
Our no-win, no-fee guarantee ensures that you will not pay your lawyer until your case is won. Even after our attorney has put considerable time, money, and effort into your claim, you will not pay if the case is lost.
In addition, we shield you from liability until the proceedings are over so that you are not worried sick about the costs associated with your case.

Many factors must be taken into consideration to prove an accident or injury claim. Did you suffer at the fault of someone else? Did the actions of another party directly lead to your accident or injury?
Did a company or entity cause your accident or injury? We are plaintiff lawyers. This means we only represent injured parties. Our experienced personal injury law firm will use every asset to build a strong case for you.
We will not “settle quickly” to close your case. Our goal is to get you the best compensation possible. Sometimes this takes longer, but the benefits are worth it.
Economic damages: These can be easily quantified, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage.
Non-economic damages: These are more difficult to quantify damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
California has no cap on the economic damages that can be awarded in a personal injury case. However, there is a cap on the amount of non-economic damages that can be granted, currently $350,000 for an individual and $700,000 for a wrongful death case.
The amount of damages you can collect will depend on many factors, including the severity of the injury, the extent of the damages, and the percentage of fault of the defendant.
The plaintiff’s own negligence can reduce damages. If the plaintiff is partially at fault for their injuries, the amount of damages they can recover will be reduced by their percentage of fault in the accident. According to the California Bar, the average personal injury lawsuit in California is $50,000.00. Over 80% are settled out of court, but a large majority of those are because not all injury attorneys go to trial. Bisnar Chase will always do what best serves you, including going to trial if needed.
