These legal elements include a professional duty owed to a patient, breach of duty, proximate cause or causal con- nection elicited by a breach of duty, and resulting in- juries or damages suffered. 1 These 4 elements apply to all cases of negligence regardless of specialty or clin- ician level.
In no-fault states, each party carries insurance that pays for their own injuries, while the at-fault party typically pays for everyone's property damage. In at-fault, or tort, states, insurance for the driver who causes the accident pays for both injuries and damage.

Strict liability is liability without regard to defective conduct. Defec- tive conduct may be present, but its presence is not essential to liability. When liability in tort is strict, the basis of liability is not that the defendant's conduct was defective.
