FAQ

(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.

Identifying the Four Tort Elements The accused had a duty, in most personal injury cases, to act in a way that did not cause you to become injured. The accused committed a breach of that duty. An injury occurred to you. The breach of duty was the proximate cause of your injury.

These legal elements include a professional duty owed to a patient, breach of duty, proximate cause or causal con- nection elicited by a breach of duty, and resulting in- juries or damages suffered. 1 These 4 elements apply to all cases of negligence regardless of specialty or clin- ician level.

Tort liability is predicated on the existence of proximate cause, which consists of both: (1) causation in fact, and (2) foreseeability. A plaintiff must prove that his or her injuries were the actual or factual result of the defendant's actions.

Negligent torts, where someone violated a duty they owed to the person harmed, such as running a red light and causing an accident. Strict liability torts, where it does not matter whether there was intent or a duty breached; the defendant is liable because the matter is so important.

In no-fault states, each party carries insurance that pays for their own injuries, while the at-fault party typically pays for everyone's property damage. In at-fault, or tort, states, insurance for the driver who causes the accident pays for both injuries and damage.
