Negligence (Lat. negligentia, from neglegere, to neglect, literally "not to pick up something") is a failure to exercise the care that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in like circumstances. The area of tort law known as negligence involves harm caused by carelessness, not intentional harm.
According to Jay M. Feinman of the Rutgers University School of Law;
Through civil litigation, if an injured person proves that another person acted negligently to cause their injury, they can recover damages to compensate for their harm. Proving a case for negligence can potentially entitle the injured plaintiff to compensation for harm to their body, property, mental well-being, financial status, or intimate relationships. However, because negligence cases are very fact-specific, this general definition does not fully explain the concept of when the law will require one person to compensate another for losses caused by accidental injury. Further, the law of negligence at common law is only one aspect of the law of liability. Although resulting damages must be proven in order to recover compensation in a negligence action, the nature and extent of those damages are not the primary focus of negligence cases.

www.lawinfo.com - Negligence refers to conduct that falls below the standards established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm. A person has acted negligently if he or she has departed from the conduct expected of a reasonable person acting under similar circumstances. In order to establish negligence as a Cause of Action under the law of torts, a plaintiff must prove that the defendant had a duty to the plaintiff, the defendant breached that duty by failing to conform to the required standard of conduct, the defendant's negligent conduct was the cause of the harm to the plaintiff, and the plaintiff was, in fact, harmed or damaged. The reasonable person standard provides a standard by which the conduct of others is judged and it distinguishes negligence fro...

Take a good look at your life.
Stare long and hard into the mirror and tell me what
you find.
Are we truly living the lives that we boast about all
the time or is this just a status symbol like that
cross on your neck that you hid behind?
What do I truly believe?
Am I living a lie?
What are we thinking?
Should we not hunger for Gods word more than once a
week?
We are called to study more than once a week.
To show thy self approved, more than once a week.
We are called to study more than once a week.
To show thy self approved, more than once a week.
Know what you preach.
Don’t let your words be misleading or there blood will
be on there hands.
Don’t take the easy way out.
Don’t let your laziness rule you.
What’s the point in believing in something?
Don’t let your laziness rule you.
If you don’t even search to find the truth.
Just like everyone around us.
You think your church is the only group of true
believers.
You’ll claim you did all these things in God’s name,
but in the end he’ll deny he ever knew your face.
Why is church tradition held onto so dearly if its not
even rooted in the scripture we so desire for?
You say you really want to change this world.
Repent and get that plank out of your own eye first.
Pagan!
Christianity.
Pharisee!
Christianity.
But it’s all the same.
Your beliefs are rooted in false tradition.
I am rooted in a generation that is too ignorant to
seek truth.
I am rooted in a generation where it’s the blind
leading the blind astray.
Where was this relationship compromised and where did
these lies come from?
Where did all these lies come from?
Where do we go from here?
History shows us the crooked paths that we now walk
upon.
