Negligence
In legal terms, negligence is an act of tort. Torts are civil wrongs which belong to a different class than criminal crimes. Negligence cases are those in which the defendant is unable to apply a reasonable amount of care and prudence in their actions or inactions. This negligence can cause accidental injury or harm to another person. Negligence can be a major cause of injuries and accidents. This is the case with car accidents, slip and fall accidents at restaurants, in businesses or private homes, as well as medical negligence (when doctors fail to follow the guidelines of care).
A claim for negligence is built on four elements that include duty breach, causation and damages. The defendant first has to owe a duty of diligence to the plaintiff. It could be a responsibilities to take an action or to refrain from doing something in certain situations. In a car accident, for example all drivers are required to be safe and obey traffic laws. The defendant has to then violate this obligation in some way, whether it's through being reckless or negligent. This includes texting while driving, speeding or not wearing the seatbelt. This breach must have directly caused the victim's injury. A defendant cannot be held responsible for an injury that was caused by a different cause, such as the victim's anxiety or stress or the natural disaster that is beyond their control.
Once the court determines that the defendant had a responsibility to the plaintiff of care the next step is to establish that the defendant violated this duty by failing to take actions or taking action that was against this duty. This can be an act or an omission. The court must establish that the breach directly caused the victim's injury or loss. This can be established by establishing a causal link that is a close connection between the breach of duty and an immediate, proximate source of the loss or injury like the above examples.
In the past, American courts used to follow a doctrine referred to as contributory negligence. This meant that a person could not be compensated in the event that they were partially at fault for their own injuries. The majority of states now follow the model of pure comparative fault, or the concept of comparative negligence, which permits victims to receive compensation that is less dependent on the extent to which they are responsible for the accident.
