Negligence is the failure to exercise care toward others which a reasonable or prudent person would do in similar circumstances, taking action which a reasonable person would not, or omitting to take such reasonable and prudent action in a particular situation.
Negligence is the failure to exercise care toward others which a reasonable or prudent person would do in similar circumstances, taking action which a reasonable person would not, or omitting to take such reasonable and prudent action in a particular situation. Negligence is accidental, as opposed to intentional, and can result in physical injuries or property damage, and also business errors and miscalculations which cause financial loss to another party. Negligence law involves motor vehicle accidents, slip and fall incidents, product liability, professional malpractice and other cases which result in injury, property damage or loss, or other money damages. In most cases, attorney fees in these type of cases are based on a percentage of any recovery from the person or entity who caused the damages. If there is no recovery, there are no fees to pay, although you may be required to pay for any other costs involved in the investigation, preparation, and litigation of your claim. I have been actively involved in handling these matters for over 35 years. If you believe that you have a potential claim of this nature, please contact me for a no cost or obligation consultation.
