http://micahhuggins.com/areas-of-practice/personal-injury/
Most personal injury cases involve negligence. To have a valid case, your personal injury attorney must be able to show that your injury was caused by the negligence of another party. To prove negligence, your injury lawyer must prove four separate things:
Duty of care: The negligent party had an obligation to act prudently to avoid injuring the other party
Breach of duty: The negligent party knowingly exposed the injured party to a substantial risk of injury or didn’t even realize (but should have) that there was a substantial risk
Direct cause: The negligent party’s deliberate acts, or lack of action, caused the injury
Harm: The injured party suffered a financial loss because of the negligent party’s negligence (a medical bill, for example, would be a monetary loss)
