Breach of the Duty of Reasonable Care

Once a duty is established, plaintiff must also prove defendant breached that duty.

Breach


In California a breach of the duty of care depends on the type of case and facts involved.
Generally, a breach of the duty of care occurs when the defendant fails to act a reasonably prudent person would have acted under similar circumstances.

In some personal injury cases, a plaintiff will need an expert witness to prove breach, as in cases of medical malpractice, where a physician must testify on the issue of breach.
