Proving personal injury hinges upon a structured process: 1. Establish Duty of Care, Demonstrate that the defendant owed the plaintiff a legal duty of care. This means the defendant had a responsibility to avoid causing harm. For instance, drivers have a duty to operate their vehicles safely to protect other road users. 2. Show a Breach of Duty, After establishing the duty of care, it's necessary to prove that the defendant failed to uphold this duty. Evidence might include eyewitness testimony, photographs, and/or statements from expert witnesses. 3. Causation, Connect the breach of duty directly to the injuries sustained. This involves showing that the injury wouldn’t have occurred without the defendant's negligence. 4. Document Injuries and Damages, This is critical. Use medical records, receipts, photographs, and expert testimony to detail the nature and extent of the injuries.
