To prove another party’s liability in an auto accident, you must prove that:
- The other party owed you a duty of care. This duty of care depends on the other party’s role in your accident. For example, drivers owe each other a duty of care to operate a motor vehicle in a safe and legal manner.
- The other party breached this duty of care. For example, another driver was speeding, which is not only against the law but also dangerous to other people traveling on the roadway.
- This breach caused the accident and your resulting injuries and expenses.
