Negligence

Negligence Law & Ordinary Care

Negligence is one of those basic legal concepts that is easily stated and easily misconstrued. Negligence is generally defined as the failure to use ordinary care. A person fails to use ordinary care if he/she does something that a person of ordinary prudence would not have done under the same or similar circumstances. Failure to use ordinary care can also occur by omission, or failing to do something that a person of ordinary prudence would have done under the same or similar circumstances.
