Car Accidents and Breach of Duty
Serious car accidents can cause severe property damage and personal injury. Drivers
and passengers involved may be forced to deal with pain, medical expenses, and loss
of wages and support. When an injury accident occurs, the person responsible for
the accident may be held liable for injuries and damage caused, especially if he
or she is found to be in “breach of duty.”
Breach of duty is an important element of tort lawsuits that intend to prove that
a person acted in a negligent manner. If the person is found guilty of breach of
duty, the injured parties may be eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses,
pain and suffering, and other damages. For more information on breach of duty and

Examples of Breach of Duty
Following a car accident, examples of breach of duty usually requires that the court
establish that:
- • Drivers have a duty to properly operate their vehicles
- • The person indeed failed to operate his or her vehicle in the proper manner
- • The driver who committed the breach of duty caused the harmful accident
- • The injured person was harmed in the accident caused by the other driver
Breach of duty claims often rely on establishing what the person's actual responsibility
or duty was, and proving from that point that the person failed to perform the duty
as expected by the court.
