What is Negligence?
You may gave heard the word “negligence” at one point or another in your lifetime. It may have been in the news‚ on a television show‚ or even part of your insurance policy. Generally speaking‚ negligence refers to kind of disregard or carelessness found in legal matters. So‚ if an individual is found “negligent” that means they did not provide the standard of care expected of them in a given situation. This can happen just about anywhere – from behind the wheel of a car to under the knife in an operating room.
In regards to slip and fall accidents‚ negligence often refers to the conditions that led up to the accident. Broken sidewalks‚ slippery aisle ways‚ and icy staircases are just a few examples of this kind of carelessness. In such situations‚ the owner of the building or the manager of the property could be considered negligent. They can be responsible for whatever damages may happen. The word “liable” is also used to describe these kinds of cases as well. Landlords and property owners can be found “liable” if someone gets hurt because they failed to keep hallways clear‚ sidewalks swept‚ or parking decks mopped up.
