Utah Negligence is a legal concept that applies when a person or entity fails to act with reasonable care and causes another person to suffer harm or injury. It is a type of civil wrong, or tort, that allows an injured party to pursue legal action against the person or entity responsible. Utah Negligence is divided into two types: contributory negligence and comparative negligence. Contributory negligence is when a party's own negligence contributes to their injury, whereas comparative negligence is when both parties are partially at fault for the injury. In Utah, a person may be found negligent if four elements are met: duty, breach of duty, causation, and damages. Duty is the legal obligation to act with reasonable care; breach of duty is the failure to act with reasonable care; causation is the link between the breach of duty and the injury; and damages are the losses suffered by the injured party.
