To establish negligence, two things must be established
1. That there was a duty of some form...typically this is referred to as a standard of care. The duty may be as simple as to "drive in a manner that would not risk injury to others" or to "perform surgery on a persons liver as well as the average doctor"
2. Once there is established a duty, they to show negligence, it must be demonstrated that the duty was not followed...it was violated or "breached". This could be by showing that an individual operated a vehicle too fast for conditions or that a doctor, while operating on the liver, by mistake removed a kidney.

Why does the plaintiff have to prove all 4 d's of negligence while the defendant needs to only disprove one?
Dereliction of a duty directly causing damages. A defendant does not have to prove or disprove anything. The plaintiff carries the burden of having to prove all required elements of any action. If four elements are required and the plaintiff can only prove three, then the plaintiff loses. As with the people wishing to sue for finding hair in their french fries, if you lack damages or injuries, you lose. If you are injured, but the defendant is not the one who injured you, then you lose. You cannot win a negligence suit if you are missing one of the required elements of your case.
