Duty of care was owed ”“ This means another party owed you a legal obligation to act with reasonable care to avoid injuring you or others.
Duty of care was breached – The duty of care was breached by the defendant in the case. Usually the duty of care is breached by the actions of the at-fault party, but sometimes the at-fault party failed to act, and that was the breach of care.
Link between breached duty and injury ”“ This means the breach was the cause of your injuries.
Proof of damages ”“ You must provide proof that the damages you suffered were a direct result of the injury and actions of the liable party.
