Duty of Care
In a negligence case the plaintiff has to prove that the defendant owed them a duty to act with reasonable care. This duty is owed to everyone, but people who operate a vehicle owe an even greater obligation to others in their field.

Causation

The fact that the plaintiff had an uneasy childhood, a bad relationship with his or her parents, was a user of alcohol and drugs, or suffered previous unemployment may have some influence on the severity the psychological issues he or suffers from following an accident, but courts typically view these elements as part of the background circumstances from which the plaintiff's accident resulted rather than an independent reason for the injuries.
