But in law, negligence has a more specific meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person is not liable merely because they made a mistake. The question is whether they <strong>failed to take the reasonable care that the law expected from them<\/strong>, causing legally recognised harm to another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negligence is an important concept because it can easily be tested through everyday situations involving <strong>drivers, doctors, employers, schools and businesses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. The Three Essentials of Negligence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negligence generally requires three things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duty of Care \u2192 Breach \u2192 Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duty of Care<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defendant must owe a <strong>duty to take reasonable care<\/strong> towards the claimant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Breach of Duty<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The defendant must fail to meet the required standard of reasonable care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The breach must cause legally recognised harm to the claimant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Understanding Through One Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose <strong>Aman is driving near a school during closing hours. He knows that children frequently cross the road, but he drives at high speed while looking at his phone. He fails to notice a child crossing the road and hits her, causing serious injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now apply the three elements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duty:<\/strong> Aman owes other road users a duty to drive with reasonable care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Breach:<\/strong> Driving at high speed while using a phone may fall below the standard of reasonable care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Damage:<\/strong> The child suffers physical injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, if the required legal conditions are established, Aman may be liable for <strong>negligence<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. What Does \u201cReasonable Care\u201d Mean?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law does not expect people to be perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It asks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What would a reasonable person have done in the same circumstances?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is known as the <strong>reasonable person standard<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our example, a reasonable driver approaching a school during closing hours would be expected to exercise greater caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, negligence is not simply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cSomething went wrong.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cThe person failed to take the care that was reasonably expected in those circumstances.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Causation: Did the Breach Cause the Harm?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if a person was careless, they may not be liable for every consequence that follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There must generally be a <strong>causal connection<\/strong> between the breach of duty and the harm suffered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In simple terms, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u201cDid the defendant&#8217;s conduct actually cause the injury?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our example, if Aman had not been driving carelessly, the accident may not have occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This connection between the wrongful conduct and the harm is important when determining liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Negligence Does Not Always Mean Intention<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person does not usually need to <strong>intend to cause harm<\/strong> to be negligent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, negligence often involves <strong>unintentional harm<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aman may never have intended to injure the child. His potential liability arises from his <strong>failure to exercise reasonable care<\/strong>, not necessarily from an intention to cause injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why Is Negligence Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Negligence is particularly important because it is an excellent example of <strong>principle-based reasoning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A passage may give you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the defendant&#8217;s conduct;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the circumstances;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the risk involved; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the resulting harm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must then determine whether the defendant acted as a <strong>reasonable person<\/strong> would have acted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BEFORE ANSWEING KEEP THIS CHECKLIST IN MIND:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you see a negligence question, ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. Was there a duty of care?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. What standard of care was expected?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Was that standard breached?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Did the breach cause the harm?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Was legally recognised damage suffered?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&nbsp;Practice Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Principle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person may be liable for negligence when they owe a duty of care, fail to exercise reasonable care, and their breach causes legally recognised harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A school bus driver is driving through a crowded school zone. The driver is aware that children frequently cross the road but continues driving at excessive speed while using a mobile phone. The driver fails to stop when a child crosses the road and causes an accident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.<\/strong> The driver cannot be negligent because there was no intention to injure the child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>B.<\/strong> The driver may be negligent because the duty of care was breached and the conduct caused injury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C.<\/strong> The driver is automatically liable merely because an accident occurred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D.<\/strong> Negligence applies only when a person deliberately causes harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer: B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driver owed a <strong>duty of care<\/strong>, appears to have failed to exercise <strong>reasonable care<\/strong>, and that conduct resulted in injury. The absence of an intention to cause harm does not by itself eliminate negligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Quick Revision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Negligence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duty of Care<\/strong><br>\u2193<br><strong>Breach of Reasonable Care<\/strong><br>\u2193<br><strong>Causation<\/strong><br>\u2193<br><strong>Legally Recognised Damage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Negligence is not simply making a mistake. It is failing to take the reasonable care required in the circumstances, resulting in legally recognised harm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While answering the question focus on <strong>\u201cWhat would a reasonable person have done in the same situation?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That question often leads you directly to the correct answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We often use the word \u201cnegligence\u201d to mean carelessness.
