Negligence

Definition

The failure to exercise the degree of care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances, resulting in harm to another. To prove negligence, a plaintiff must establish: duty (the defendant owed a duty of care), breach (the defendant breached that duty), causation (the breach caused the plaintiff's injuries), and damages (the plaintiff suffered actual harm).

Frequently Asked

What are the four elements of negligence?

The four elements are: (1) Duty — the defendant had a legal obligation to act with reasonable care toward the plaintiff; (2) Breach — the defendant failed to meet that standard of care; (3) Causation — the breach was the actual and proximate cause of the plaintiff's injuries; and (4) Damages — the plaintiff suffered actual harm.
