To succeed in your personal injury case, you must show that someone else acted with negligence or recklessness and their actions or inactions led to harm. Negligence is the standard of liability that governs most personal injury claims. To prove a negligence claim, an injured victim must show that the wrongful actor:
Owed a duty of care to the injury victim;
Did not act as a reasonable person would have acted under the same or similar circumstances; and
Caused his or her damages.
