Negligence is the failure of a person to act in a manner in which a reasonable prudent person would have acted under similar circumstances or acting in a manner in which a reasonably prudent person would not have acted under similar circumstances. How an "ordinary reasonable person" should have acted in each situation is often a critical issue in many Personal Injury cases. An experienced Personal Injury attorney will be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of each fact situation to determine whether it is likely that another party's negligence was the cause of your injury. If negligence is in dispute and the claim cannot be resolved, your Personal Injury lawyer will present evidence at trial to convince the jury that the defendant violated the "ordinary reasonable person" standards and cause your injury.
