Definition of Negligence
The "lack of ordinary care" is the the commonly understood
definition of negligence. The "lack
of ordinary care" is the lack of the kind of care a reasonably
prudent and careful person would exercise under the circumstances.
Negligence is when one's conduct in a given circumstance doesn't
measure up to this standard, and they cause damage to an individual.
Negligence Facts
People are expected to act reasonably and prudently under given
sets of circumstances, and in fact are required to by law. You
are not responsible for anticipating the negligence of someone
else.
Neglignece must be proved by a preponderance of evidence, it's
not presumed negligence occured just because an accident occurred.
Once negligence is proved, then you are entitled to a recovery.
A person or party can be partially negligent. A party can be held
liable even in partial negligence.
Also, two or more parties can both be negligent. If two or more
parties share in negligence that causes injury, a jury must determine
the relative degrees of each party's fault. The damages each party
pays are based on this. If one of the party's has settled, it has
no bearing on the other party's negligence case.
Negligence law can be extremely complicated. If you have suffered
from negligence, you should contact a lawyer experienced in negligence
cases.
Negligence And The Law
Negligence also occurs when a person violates a statute or regulation
that has been enacted for people's safety. This statute or regulation
violation is negligence as a matter
of law.
Negligence And Conduct
If the intentional, reckless,
willful or wanton conduct of a person or party causes an injury,
that person or party is considered negligent.
When a person undertakes a conscious action, objective
or purpose with a knowing desire, that action is considered intentional.
A knowing disregard of a substantial
and unjustifiable risk is considered reckless conduct. Basically,
reckless conduct amounts to "I don't
care" attitude.
Recklessness occurs when a person performs an act that a reasonably
prudent and carefull person would know could and probably would
cause harm.
Willful conduct indicates a conscious decision or intent
to disregard the rights of others. Willfulness is a conscious choice
to ignore the consequences when it is reasonably apparent that
someone will probably be harmed.
Wanton conduct occurs when a person, though not intending to cause
harm, does something so unreasonable and so dangerous that the
person either knows or should know that harm will probably result.
It reflects an "I don't care" attitude.
Malice is the intent to commit a wrongful act without justification
for doing so. Punitive damages are no longer awardable for gross
negligence, reckless conduct, or willful or wanton conduct, but
only for conduct involving "malice."
