What are the elements of a negligence case?

In order to prove a negligence case, the necessary elements are: 1) there was a duty to act on the part of one towards another; 2) the defendant breached the duty: 3) there was an injury or “damages” that resulted, and: 4) the breach of the duty proximately caused the damages. Proximate cause means that an event was a “cause in fact” of the damages and that the damages were a foreseeable result of the event in question.
