Duty of Care
In a negligence lawsuit the plaintiff must show that the defendant was obligated to act with reasonable care. This duty is due to everyone, but those who drive a vehicle owe an even greater obligation to others in their field. This includes ensuring that they do not cause accidents in motor vehicles.
Courtrooms examine an individual's conduct to what a typical person would do under similar circumstances to determine a reasonable standard of care. In the case of medical malpractice experts are often required. Experts who have a greater understanding of the field could be held to a greater standard of care.

The victim must demonstrate that the defendant's violation of their duty led to the damage and injury they have suffered. Causation is a key element of any negligence claim. It involves proving the actual and proximate causes of the damage and injury.
For example, if someone runs a red light and is stopped, they'll be hit by a vehicle. If their vehicle is damaged, they will need to pay for repairs. But the reason for the crash could be a cut on bricks, which later turn into a dangerous infection.

Motorists owe a duty care to other motorists and pedestrians to drive safely and obey traffic laws. When a driver breaches this duty of care and creates an accident, he is accountable for the injury suffered by the victim.
A lawyer can use the "reasonable person" standard to establish the existence of the duty of care, and then demonstrate that the defendant failed to meet that standard in his actions. It is a matter of fact that the jury has to decide whether the defendant met the standard or not.
The plaintiff must also prove that the breach of duty by the defendant was the direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries. It is more difficult to prove this than a breach of duty. A defendant could have run through a red light but that's not what caused the bicycle accident. In this way, causation is often contested by the defendants in cases of crash.
Causation

For instance, if a plaintiff suffered neck injuries as a result of an accident that involved rear-ends the lawyer could claim that the collision caused the injury. Other factors that are needed in causing the collision such as being in a stationary vehicle are not culpable, and do not affect the jury's determination of liability.
It is possible to establish a causal relationship between an act of negligence and the plaintiff's psychological problems. The reality that the plaintiff experienced a troubles in his or her childhood, had a difficult relationship with their parents, was a user of drugs and alcohol or experienced previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity of the psychological issues is suffering from following an accident, but courts typically look at these factors as part of the context that caused the accident in which the plaintiff was triggered, not as a separate cause of the injuries.

These damages must be established through extensive evidence such as depositions of family members or friends of the plaintiff medical records, as well as other expert witness testimony.
In cases that involve multiple defendants, Courts will often use comparative negligence rules to determine how much of the total damages award should be allocated between them. The jury has to determine the percentage of fault each defendant is accountable for the accident and then divide the total damages awarded by the percentage.
