Q: What is negligence?

A: Negligence is a tort, a type of fault or wrong, which causes harm that the law compensates by an award of money damages.  Liability for negligence requires breach of a duty of care arising from a reasonably foreseeable risk of harm to one person, created by the act or omission of another.  Without proof of these elements, a personal injury claim will fail.
