Negligence
Knowing negligence is crucial in personal injury cases. Here’s what you need to know:
Negligence Defined: Negligence refers to the failure to take proper care in doing something. In the context of personal injury law, it means that someone failed to take reasonable care, resulting in harm to another person.
Elements of Negligence: In order to prove negligence, the following elements must be established:
Duty: The defendant had a legal duty to exercise reasonable care.
Breach of Duty: The defendant breached that duty by failing to exercise reasonable care.
Causation: The defendant’s breach of duty was the direct cause of the plaintiff’s injury.
Damages: The plaintiff suffered actual damages as a result of the defendant’s breach of duty.
Can Negligence Be Waived? It’s important to understand that negligence cannot usually be waived. However, in certain situations, parties may attempt to include waivers or exculpatory clauses in contracts to limit liability for negligence. These clauses are subject to strict scrutiny by the courts, and whether they will be upheld depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the case.
