In the event of a lapse, it can cause accidental injury or harm to someone else. Negligence is a typical cause of accident injuries that result from car accidents, slip or fall accidents at businesses or restaurants, private homes or even at the airport, medical negligence (when doctors do not adhere to the standards of care), and wrongful death actions (when someone dies because of the negligence or recklessness of others).
A claim for negligence is founded on four elements that include duty breach, causation, and damages. The defendant must first oblige the plaintiff to perform the duty of care.
