What are the four elements a plaintiff must establish to prove a defendant was negligent?

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

The four elements are (1) the defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff to conform
to a certain standard of conduct in order to protect the plaintiff against
unreasonable risk of harm, (2) the defendant did not conform to the standard
required, (3) a reasonably close causal connection existed between the conduct
of the defendant and the injury to the plaintiff, and (4) the defendant invaded a
legally protected interest of the plaintiff.
