Black’s law Dictionary defines negligence as the failure to use such care as a reasonably prudent and careful person would use under similar circumstances; it is the doing of some act which a person of ordinary prudence would not have done under similar circumstances or failure to do what a person of ordinary prudence would have done under similar circumstances. Consulting with a Negligence Attorney can help you understand your rights and responsibilities in such cases.
