Negligence is the foundation of most personal injury claims. It occurs when someone fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person. In Michigan, proving negligence is essential to recovering compensation for injuries caused by someone else’s actions (or inaction).
Negligence means that a person or entity (such as the owner of a business or a building) did not act as a responsible person would under similar circumstances. This failure can lead to accidents, injuries, or even death. Common examples can include distracted driving, failing to clean up a spill in a store, or a landlord ignoring unsafe conditions on a property.
The Four Elements of Negligence
When we define negligence, we look at the four elements: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. To win a personal injury claim for negligence, you must prove the following:
- Duty of Care: The defendant had a legal obligation to act with reasonable care.
- Breach of Duty: They failed to meet that obligation.
- Causation: Their breach directly caused your injury.
- Damages: You suffered measurable harm, such as medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering.
