Utah Negligence is a legal concept where a person or entity is held liable for any injury or damage caused to another person due to their failure to act with reasonable care. Utah Negligence includes four elements; (1) Duty of Care, (2) Breach of Duty of Care, (3) Causation, and (4) Damages. Duty of Care is the obligation to act in a way that a reasonable person would, given the circumstances. Breach of Duty of Care is when the person or entity fails to act in a way that a reasonable person would, thus causing harm. Causation is the link between the breach of duty of care and the harm caused. Damages are the losses caused by the negligence. In Utah, there are two types of Negligence: Contributory Negligence and Comparative Negligence. Contributory Negligence is when the plaintiff is partially at fault for their own injury and the defendant is then not liable for the full amount of damages. Comparative Negligence is when both the plaintiff and the defendant are partially at fault and damages are split between them accordingly.
