FAQ

Under California law, there are four legal principles of negligence required for a claim include duty of care, breach of duty of care, causation, and damages.

An important consequence of the fact that negligence necessarily involves wrong in the doing, but not in the doer, is that in some of its applications liability for negligence may be strict in the sense that it is imposed on defendants who should not be blamed for failing to have exercised reasonable care.

Most civil lawsuits for injuries allege the wrongdoer was negligent. To win in a negligence lawsuit, the victim must establish 4 elements: (1) the wrongdoer owed a duty to the victim, (2) the wrongdoer breached the duty, (3) the breach caused the injury (4) the victim suffered damages.

None. California is a pure comparative negligence state.

Negligent torts, where someone violated a duty they owed to the person harmed, such as running a red light and causing an accident. Strict liability torts, where it does not matter whether there was intent or a duty breached; the defendant is liable because the matter is so important.

The generally recognised forms of fault are intent, which is divided into direct and indirect intent, and neg- ligence, which is divided into carelessness and gross negligence. ing to LOA § 104 (2), the forms of fault are carelessness, gross negligence, and intent.

(1) No fault liability means liability of a person even without any negligent act on his part and even if he has taken due care and caution. (2) If a person brings and keeps any dangerous thing on his land, then he is liable for any damage caused if the thing escapes.

While seemingly straightforward, the concept of negligence itself can also be broken down into four types of negligence: gross negligence, comparative negligence, contributory negligence, and vicarious negligence or vicarious liability. Gross negligence refers to a more serious form of negligent conduct.
