**Negligence** is the key factor in every Colorado personal injury case. Negligence means proving that someone else is at fault. To prove negligence, we have to establish **three factors**:

1. The first factor we have to prove is that the other person had a **duty of care** towards you.
2. Next, we have to prove that their **violating this duty of care led to the accident**, even indirectly. The term for this is the “**direct or proximate cause**” of the accident.
3. Finally, we need to establish that **your injury occurred because of the accident**.

In simple terms, we have to prove that they were responsible for providing a safe environment, they were expected to act responsibly, and that they violated this duty by acting against their responsibilities. This is called the “**reasonable person**” standard.
