A driver out on the road may violate the duty of care very quickly, often in ways that he does not think twice about. For example, a driver might choose to drive while distracted, or ignore the rules of the road, including speeding, often at excessive speeds. A property owner who does not properly care for the property, including taking care of needed maintenance, may bear liability for an accident caused by that lack of maintenance, especially if the property owner fails to properly warn guests about the hazard. A lawyer can look into the specific act of negligence that caused an accident, including whether another party, under the same circumstances, would have taken better action to help protect against injury.
