What is negligence?
Negligence is a legal term that refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in injury to another person. In other words, if someone fails to act as a reasonable person would in a similar situation, and that failure results in harm to you, they may be considered negligent.
What are the elements of a negligence claim?
In order to win a negligence claim, you must be able to prove the following four elements:
Duty of care: The defendant owed you a duty of care. This means that they had a legal obligation to act in a way that would not harm you.
Breach of duty: The defendant breached their duty of care. This means that they failed to act in a way that a reasonable person would in a similar situation.
Causation: The defendant's breach of duty caused your injury. This means that your injury would not have happened but for the defendant's negligence.
Damages: You suffered damages as a result of your injury. This could include physical injuries, emotional distress, lost wages, and medical bills.
