FAQ

None. California is a pure comparative negligence state.

In order to establish negligence, you must be able to prove four “elements”: a duty, a breach of that duty, causation and damages.

The generally recognised forms of fault are intent, which is divided into direct and indirect intent, and neg- ligence, which is divided into carelessness and gross negligence. ing to LOA § 104 (2), the forms of fault are carelessness, gross negligence, and intent.

An important consequence of the fact that negligence necessarily involves wrong in the doing, but not in the doer, is that in some of its applications liability for negligence may be strict in the sense that it is imposed on defendants who should not be blamed for failing to have exercised reasonable care.

(1) No fault liability means liability of a person even without any negligent act on his part and even if he has taken due care and caution. (2) If a person brings and keeps any dangerous thing on his land, then he is liable for any damage caused if the thing escapes.

Provide as much detail as possible. Provide all related supportive documentation: Include all receipts, two appraisals or repair estimates, proof of ownership (if property damage is claimed), photographs, and medical documents or records, as well as police, incident or witness reports (if applicable).

Most civil lawsuits for injuries allege the wrongdoer was negligent. To win in a negligence lawsuit, the victim must establish 4 elements: (1) the wrongdoer owed a duty to the victim, (2) the wrongdoer breached the duty, (3) the breach caused the injury (4) the victim suffered damages.
