In order to be successful in a personal injury claim in Georgia, the defendant must prove the following elements in court:
The defendant owed them a duty of care;
The duty of care was breached;
The breach caused the injuries; and
The victim suffered damages and losses as a result of the injury
For example, anytime someone is driving, they owe a duty to other drivers to be cautious and attempt to keep others on the road safe. If a driver is texting or is under the influence while operating a vehicle, they’ve breached this duty of care to all the other drivers on the road.
