The 3 basic concepts of liability law<\/h2>\n

Within liability law, the following 3 elements are indispensable for making a judgment: damages, fault and causation.<\/p>\n

1. Damage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

There must be demonstrable damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These can include personal injury, property damage and moral damage. In liability law, damages are always measured by comparing the situation after the damage with the hypothetical situation if no damage had occurred. <\/p>\n

2. Error<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The other party must have committed a fault. Liability law considers different types of fault: failure to comply with laws and regulations, breach of contract and breaches of the general standard of care. The latter, in short, involves determining whether one acted prudently, reasonably and socially correct. <\/p>\n

3. Causal relationship<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Finally, it must be proven that the injury sustained did in fact result from the fault committed. In other words, there must be a causal connection between the damage and the fault. In this way, it can be concluded that one party has suffered damage due to the fault of the other. Consequently, the latter is held liable. <\/p>\n

Liability: some simple examples<\/h2>\n

Numerous scenarios trigger liability law. In each case, damages, fault and causation are critical. <\/p>\n
