Negligence is a legal term that describes careless or reckless behavior that puts others at risk. In a personal injury claim, the plaintiff and their personal injury attorney must show that the defendant was negligent, or at fault, for the plaintiff\u2019s injuries. In Nevada, proving negligence involves proving four criteria.<\/p>

Deber de cuidado<\/h3>

In a personal injury claim, the plaintiff must show that the defendant owed them a legal duty of care. Duty of care is a legal obligation to act within a standard of reasonable care and avoid careless or reckless behavior that could hurt others.\u00a0<\/p>

For instance, all motorists have a legal duty of care to drive safely and follow all traffic laws. This duty is owed to all other motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and anyone else using the same roadways. Store owners owe all property visitors a duty of care, which requires them to keep their properties free of foreseeable hazards that could cause injuries.\u00a0<\/p>

Breach of Duty<\/h3>

If the plaintiff has shown that the defendant owed them a duty of care, the next step is proving that the defendant breached their duty. This means that the defendant failed to act in the way that a reasonable person would in the same circumstances.\u00a0<\/p>

For example, let\u2019s say you slipped and fell on a liquid spill in a store. To prove a breach of the duty of care, your personal injury lawyer would need to show that the property owner knew or should have known about the spill, but failed to address it promptly. Your lawyer might argue that a reasonable person would have been aware of the spill and cleaned it up before your accident.<\/p>

Causation<\/h3>

The plaintiff must provide proof that the defendant\u2019s breach of duty of care directly caused the plaintiff\u2019s injuries. They must establish that if it were not for this breach, they never would have been injured.<\/p>

Damages<\/h3>

You must show that your injuries resulted in real damages. The damages most commonly pursued in personal injury claims include medical bills, lost wages, property damage, loss of quality of life, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
