What is negligence?

While it is one of the most common causes of personal injury cases, few people have a complete grasp of what exactly constitutes negligence. Generally speaking, a person or company can be said to have acted negligently if they have failed to behave in a reasonable, responsible manner to prevent injury to others. For instance, a store owner that fails to adequately warn customers of wet floors, or a car manufacturer that fails to adequately test a vehicle before releasing it to the market, may be considered to have acted negligently.
