What Are the Elements of a Personal Injury Claim in Gastonia?
Personal injury claims can be complex. At Brown, Moore & Associates, PLLC, our attorneys understand every personal injury claim is unique. However, there are four basic elements that must be met;
- The negligent party must have had a duty to exercise reasonable care;
- They failed to exercise reasonable care;
- The injured party sustained damages; and,
- The negligent party caused damages by failing to exercise reasonable care
For instance, in a case involving a traffic collision, our Gastonia personal injury lawyers would demonstrate;
- That the driver had a duty of care to pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, other motorists, and others on the road
- The driver did not operate their vehicle safely, whether from impairment or reckless driving

- The driver’s failure to operate their vehicle safely on the road is directly responsible for the damages to the inured party
