Negligence

Negligence is a legal term used to identify an act or omission. Personal injury attorneys are responsible determining who was negligent or responsible for injuring their client. The ability to identify the persons or company responsible for causing harm is the first step in a personal injury attorney’s quest to obtain monetary awards to compensate their injured clients. 

Negligence forming the basis of a civil action is the failure to do what a reasonable and prudent person would ordinarily have done under the circumstances, or the doing of what a reasonable and prudent person would not have done under the circumstances. Negligence has also been defined as the failure to observe, for the protection of another's interest, such care and vigilance as the circumstances justly demand and the want of which caused the injury.

In many cases liability is clear, leaving much of the legal work to determining the amount of damages that might be obtained in order to compensate the client. Obviously, the largest sum of money is generally sought by personal injury lawyers. 

Personal injury attorneys explain that negligence has been defined as such an omission by a responsible person to use that degree of care, diligence, and skill that was his or her legal duty to use to protect another person from injury that, in a natural and continuous sequence, causes unintended damage to the latter.
