Need to analyze this case law and show the 4 elements of Negligence : Duty of care, breach, causation and damages I already did duty of care and causation, but I am stuck on breach and damages So I would like you help me for those 2 breach and damage topics upon this text : Thank you for your help Christine Leroy

Paul, aged three years, was badly injured when he fell from a third-floor balcony at the apartment block where he lived with his mother, Deirdre At the time, Deirdre was semi-conscious as a result of drinking heavily and taking heroin Before shooting up with heroin, Deirdre opened the sliding door to the balcony of her apartment, so that Paul could play outside in the sunshine She then left him outside alone The railing around the balcony did not reach all the way to the floor of the balcony; there was enough space for a child as small as Paul to pass beneath the railing It is not clear how Paul came to fall He does not remember exactly what happened, and no-one saw the incident

The State family services agency had previously taken custody of Paul after neighbors had informed it that he was being neglected and abused by Deirdre The agency placed Paul with foster parents for six months while Deirdre underwent a substance abuse and detoxification program After reviewing her case, the agency returned Paul to Deirdre At that time, it was satisfied that Deirdreâ€s addictions were under control and that she was capable of looking after her son, something she was passionately keen to do Paul fell from the balcony one month later In the period between Paulâ€s return and the accident, one of Deirdreâ€s neighbors had contacted the agency, saying, “Sheâ€s shooting up again – nothing good is going to come of it” The agency took no steps to respond, as it only has the resources to respond to reports of actual neglect or abuse

Deirdre rented the apartment from Downside Apartments, Inc, which owned the whole apartment block Downsideâ€s agent knew that Deirdre had a three-year old son when she rented the apartment No warning about the safety of the balcony was given, either by the agent in person, or by signs in the apartment

After the fall, Paul was taken to the local hospital by a neighbor Unfortunately, he was not treated immediately, despite the neighborâ€s heated requests for action, because the neighbor was not one of Paulâ€s parents and had no idea about Paulâ€s medical insurance arrangements (Deirdre and Paul have no private medical insurance) The evidence suggests that the delay in treatment at the hospital worsened Paulâ€s condition

An action has been brought on Paulâ€s behalf against the state family services agency, alleging that his injuries were caused by its negligence No other actions have yet been brought Advise the agency (Assume the incident occurred in a state that has not modified the rules of joint and several liability, and which has abandoned the traditional rules of occupierâ€s liability in favor of a unitary Rowland v Christian test)
