PESONAL INJURY  NEGLIGENCE - MICHIGAN

 

Typically a personal injury lawsuit is based on a legal theory known as negligence. This requires an injured person to prove four elements. First they must prove that individual or entity had a duty of reasonable care (for example, a store is required to maintain a safe premises for shoppers). Second, the injured person must prove that this duty was breached (for example a store failed to cleanup a broken jar of applesauce). Third, injured person must prove that as result of the breach of reasonable care (failure to clean up the applesauce caused a slippery floor) that they were injured. Fourth, the person must prove that they were injured and the extent of their injuries (the injured person slipped on the applesauce and broke their hip).

On a day-to-day basis there are number of individuals that owe a duty of reasonable care. Store owners owe a duty to their shoppers to maintain the premises safe for patrons to shop. Operators of automobiles owe a duty to operate their vehicles in a safe manner. When an individual does not act with reasonable care they typically have breached their duty to others.
