To prove negligence, four elements must typically be established: duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages.
The at-fault party must have owed a duty of care to the victim, must have breached that duty, and the breach must have caused the victim’s death. Finally, the victim’s family must have suffered damages as a result of the death.
These four elements can be difficult to prove, but having a legal advocate by your side will make a world of difference in the outcome of your claim.
