Tort law is the largest category of civil litigation, primarily consisting of personal injury cases based on negligent or careless acts. To prevail on a negligence claim, a plaintiff is required to prove: (1) that a defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff, (2) that the defendant breached said duty; (3) the breach was the actual and proximate cause of the plaintiff’s injuries; and (4) the plaintiff suffered an injury or harm. The team at JD Howlette Law works meticulously to ensure that a client understands the specific strengths and weaknesses at all stages of a negligent lawsuit.
