Negligence actions form a the basis for civil litigation as opposed to criminal litigation when suing for damages based on a variety of different types of injury.
The injured person, called the Plaintiff, must be able to establish that the Defendant had a duty to the Plaintiff or the injured party or to the general public, that the Defendant's action the Defendant's failure to act was not that type of action that a reasonably prudent person would have committed and that the damages were directly or proximately caused the injuries to the Plaintiff.
At Hyatt Legal Services, our objective is to prepare each element of every case in order to maximize recovery. At such time that it is established that the defendant owed a duty of care to the Plaintiff the issue of if a duty was breached must be resolved. There are different standards that have to be taken into account in order to make these determinations. A Defendant who with knowledge subjects a Plaintiff to a certain Laval of risk of loss may be found to breach that duty. The defendant who does not conduct his or her actions that conforms to the standard that any reasonable person in a similar situation could have realized may also breach that duty.
The actual breach of duty is not limited to professional persons or experts by that duty attaches to who performs conduct in the similar class. All members of that class have a duty to perform reasonable care toward others and their personal and real property. A person who becomes involved with conduct that poses an unreasonable risk toward other persons and their personal or real property which actually results in harm may be found to breach their duty of reasonable care that is owed.
