Q. WHAT IS NEGLIGENCE?

Negligence is the doing of something which a reasonably prudent person would not
do, or the failure to do something which a reasonably prudent person would do,
under circumstances similar to those shown by the evidence.It is the failure to use
ordinary or reasonable care.Ordinary or reasonable care is that care which persons
of ordinary prudence would use in order to avoid injury to themselves or others
under circumstances similar to those shown by the evidence. The person whose
conduct we set up as a standard is not the extraordinarily cautious individual, nor
the exceptionally skillful one, but a person of reasonable and ordinary
prudence.One test that is helpful in determining whether or not a person was
negligent is to ask and answer the question whether or not, if a person of ordinary
prudence had been in the same situation and possessed of the same knowledge, he or
she would have foreseen or anticipated that someone might have been injured by or
as a result of his or her action or inaction. If the answer to that question is
"yes", and if the action or inaction reasonably could have been avoided, then not
to avoid it would be negligence.
