What is negligence and what can happen because of your negligence?
Negligence, in the legal sense, is the tort or "civil wrong" in
which an individual or entity acts in a irresponsible or negligent
manner resulting in serious injury or death to another. As far as

great sum of money in order to pay back the injured party for
"damages" incurred. The article below further discusses negligence
and explains the elements involved in proving negligence in any one
