Negligence
In legal terms, neglect is considered to be a tort. Torts are civil wrongs that fall under a distinct category from criminal offenses. Negligence cases involve the defendant's inability to exercise a reasonable level of care and caution in their actions or inactions. In the event of a lapse, it can cause unintentional harm or injury to a person. Negligence is a leading cause of accidents and injuries. This includes car accidents or slip-and-fall accidents at restaurants, in businesses or private homes, and medical negligence (when doctors do not adhere to the standards of care).
A claim for negligence is based on four elements which are duty breach, causation and damages. The defendant first has to owe a duty diligence to the plaintiff. This could mean a duty to perform some act or to do something in particular circumstances. For example, in a car accident situation, all drivers owe the obligation to drive in a safe manner and obey traffic laws. The defendant then has to violate this obligation in some way, either by being negligent or reckless. This could include driving while texting, speeding, or not wear the seatbelt. It is crucial to remember that this breach must directly cause injuries. A defendant cannot be held accountable for a recurrence which was caused by another reason, like the victim's stress or anxiety, or even a natural disaster beyond their control.
Once the court has decided that the defendant owed a duty the plaintiff then the next step would be to prove that he breached this obligation by failing act or in a way in violation of the duty. It could be an act or an omission. The court must also determine that the breach of duty directly caused the victim's injury or loss. This can be proven by the existence of a causal link that is strong with a clear connection between the breach of duties and an immediate or proximate cause like in the examples above.
In the past, American court systems followed a doctrine known as contributory negligence. This meant that a victim was not entitled to compensation if he or was even partially responsible for their own injuries.
