A claim for negligence is based on four elements: duty breach, causation, and damages. The defendant must first have a duty of care. It could be a duty to take an action or refrain from doing something under certain conditions. For instance in a car accident case, all drivers owe the obligation to drive in a safe manner and observe traffic laws. The defendant has to then violate this duty in some way, either by being negligent or reckless. This could be driving while texting or speeding, or not wear the seatbelt. This violation must have directly caused the victim's injury. A defendant cannot be held accountable for injuries if they was caused by a different factor, such as the victim's emotional state or anxious or a natural calamity that was outside their control.
