Negligence is the failure to exercise appropriate care and or ethical ruled care that is expected to be exercised under specific circumstances. Negligence falls under 4 main elements that include Duty, Breach, Damages and Causation. This falls between two parties, mainly the defendant and the plaintiff. With regards to Duty, the defendant has a duty to others to exercise reasonable care that includes the plaintiff. A breach occurs when the defendant breaches that duty through an act or the failure to act. Damages are the result of that specific act or the failure to act which leads to the plaintiff suffering an injury. Causation is where the injury caused to the plaintiff is a foreseeable consequence of the defendant’s act or failure to act.
