Negligence is a key factor in every personal injury case. It is a legal term that defines the recklessness, carelessness, and responsibility of the person at fault in an incident resulting in someone else’s loss or injury. We will need to prove three things in order to maintain the other person in your accident was negligent in their actions and therefore liable for your losses. First, we need to show that they were acting so irresponsibly that it goes against the way any reasonable person would have behaved. This is also sometimes phrased as “violating a duty of care toward others.” We all have a responsibility to act in such a way as to not put others in danger. Second, we need to show that their irresponsible actions led to the accident. Finally, we have to demonstrate that you got hurt as a direct result of the accident.
