Negligence - FAQs
Augusta GA Personal Injury Lawyer
A personal injury claim arises when someone suffers a physical or mental injury as a result
Negligence is a legal term that means that someones conduct fell lower than the standard of care for a reasonable person in a similar situation. The standard of care varies from case to case, depending on who the injured party is and who the negligent party is. For instance, a professional driver (such as someone driving a bus) will be expected to have a higher standard of driving than a nonprofessional driver would.
A bus company would be expected to have a higher degree of safety for its passengers than a private individual would. A person is negligent when that person does something he or she shouldn't have done, or when he or she doesn't do something he or she should have done. For instance, not stopping at a stop sign is probably negligent. Liability, or who is at fault, also changes from case to case.
