n. Failure to exercise the due diligence that a reasonable or prudent person would do in the circumstances, or to take any action that that reasonable person would not do. Negligence is accidental as opposed to “intentional tort” (e.g., assault or trespassing) or criminal offences, but a criminal offence can also constitute negligence, such as reckless driving. Negligence can result in all types of accidents that cause property and/or property damage, but can also include business errors and calculation errors, such as botched surveying. When bringing a claim for damages based on the alleged negligence of others, the injured party (plaintiff) must prove: (a) that the party accused of negligence owed an obligation to the injured party – in particular to the injured party or to the general public, (b) that the defendant`s act (or omission) was negligent – and not what a reasonably prudent person would have done, c) the damage was caused negligently (“directly caused”). Another factor in the formula for determining negligence is whether the damage was “reasonably foreseeable” at the time of the alleged negligence. If the injury is caused by something that belongs to or is controlled by the allegedly negligent party, but it is not known how the accident actually occurred (how a ton of bricks falls from a construction contract), negligence can be found on the basis of the doctrine of res ipsa loquitor (Latin for “the thing speaks for itself”). In addition, in six states (Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland) and the District of Columbia, an injured party is denied judgment (payment) if it was guilty of even slight “contributory negligence” in the accident. This archaic and unfair rule has been replaced in the other 44 states by “comparative negligence,” in which the plaintiff`s negligence is weighed against the percentage of blame to the other party or parties (“accomplices”) who caused the accident. In car accidents in 16 states, the head of the family is liable for damage caused by a family member using the car, according to the so-called “family” doctrine.
Nine states (California, New York, Michigan, Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island) hold the vehicle owner liable for any damage caused by a driver who has obtained permission to use the car, whether or not the negligent driver has assets or insurance to pay a judgment. Eight states (Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia) allow the owner to rebut a presumption that the driver was authorized to use the car. Negligence is one of the largest sources of litigation (along with contractual and commercial disputes) in the United States. Randomly describes what was not planned or planned. It means “happened by accident” or “occurred as an accident,” as in “accidental discovery” and “accidental injury.” Coincidence usually means “to occur as a minor part or result of something else”, as in “a chapter that is incidental to the plot of the novel”.

2. In general, equitable courts provide relief to a party who cannot obtain justice following an accident, which justifies the intervention of a court of equity. First, since jurisdiction is concurrent, it is maintained only if a court is unable to provide an adequate remedy; and secondly, whether the party has a right of conscience to exculpate against it.
