Doing so means you and your lawyer must prove the five elements of negligence: duty, breach of duty, cause, in fact, proximate cause, and harm.

In order to establish negligence, you must be able to prove four “elements”: a duty, a breach of that duty, causation and damages.

The four elements that a plaintiff must prove to win a negligence suit are 1) Duty, 2) Breach, 3) Cause, and 4) Harm.

To make a claim of negligence in NSW, you must prove three elements:

• A duty of care existed between you and the person you are claiming was negligent;
• The other person breached their duty of care owed to you; and.
• Damage or injury suffered by you was caused by the breach of the duty.

The Defendant Breached His or Her Duty of Care This element is often the most difficult to prove, as it requires the plaintiff to show evidence of the defendant’s act of negligence. A “breach of duty” is anything that violates the accepted standards of care for the situation.

Negligence claims must prove four things in court: duty, breach, causation, and damages/harm. Generally speaking, when someone acts in a careless way and causes an injury to another person, under the legal principle of “negligence” the careless person will be legally liable for any resulting harm.

There are generally three degrees of negligence: slight negligence, gross negligence, and reckless negligence. Slight negligence is found in cases where a defendant is required to exercise such a high degree of care, that even a slight breach of this care will result in liability.

In order to win a negligence case, all of the following elements must be present and provable:

1. THE DEFENDANT OWES A DUTY OF CARE TO THE PLAINTIFF.
2. THE DUTY OF CARE HAS BEEN BREACHED.
3. THERE IS A CAUSAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE DEFENDANT’S ACTIONS AND YOUR INJURY.
4. THE NEGLIGENCE ACTUALLY RESULTED IN HARM OR DAMAGE.

Damages are usually awarded for expectation loss (loss of a bargain) or reliance loss (wasted expenditure). In some cases the court may award damages which go beyond a strict measure of compensation. Damages for breach of contract are subject to the principles of remoteness, causation and mitigation.

Under tort law, seven intentional torts exist. Four of them are personal: assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and false imprisonment. The other three are trespass to chattels, trespass to property, and conversion.
