The Three Pillars of Liability
To win a case in Torts, you generally need to prove three things. Think of these as the “DNA” of
a tortious claim:
1. Duty of Care: Did the defendant owe a legal obligation to the plaintiff to be careful?
2. Breach of Duty: Did the defendant fail to meet that standard of care?
3. Damage/Injury: Did the plaintiff actually suffer a loss (physical, mental, or financial)
because of that failure?
