Question

What is "negligence"? 

Answer

How an “ordinary reasonable person” should act in each situation in the case of a Personal Injury is the critical issue in Personal Injury cases. Negligent persons fail, for example, in driving safely, repairing property, restraining animals, or placing warnings. A jury often determines if  “ordinary reasonable person" standards are met after presentation of evidence and argument at trial.
