What Is Negligence?

Negligence is defined as causing harm to another person because of one’s actions or inaction, or because of a failure to provide reasonable care. The failure to exercise caution when driving, the failure of a property owner to properly maintain property grounds, and the failure of a doctor to provide the acceptable standard of care are all forms of negligence. A personal injury lawyer can help a victim of negligence to bring a lawsuit against the responsible party in order to seek financial compensation for injuries and losses suffered.
