    A person has a legal duty to take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to others. Negligence in a legal sense is the failure to use reasonable care, which results in damage to another person. The key aspects of negligence are a legal duty of care, a breach of that duty through careless actions or omissions, causation that links the breach to actual damage, and damage that is sustained by the plaintiff.
