Q » What is the concept of 'negligence' in tort law, and how is it proven?
17 Oct, 2025
A » Negligence in tort law refers to a failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in similar circumstances. It is proven through four elements: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. The plaintiff must show that the defendant owed a duty, breached it, directly caused harm, and that damages resulted from the breach. Each element must be demonstrated for a successful negligence claim.
