There is a certain amount of reasonable care that people have to ensure other people aren’t going to be harmed. When there isn’t reasonable care either by omission or an action, it is known as negligence. At Hurt Wreck, we help people get compensated for situations in which negligence has played a role in their pain and suffering or loss of property. This can take on numerous forms. It is the goal of our team of attorneys to help our clients recover any damages that they may have experienced.
Types of Negligence
There are two main types of negligence:
– Gross Negligence: If there is a person that isn’t acting reasonable or taking actions in a way that a reasonable person wouldn’t do that results in the injury of another person, that is gross negligence. The defendant shows willful disregard for the safety of the other person.
– Vicarious Negligence: This type of negligence happens when someone fails to take reasonable action to prevent harm from happening to another person. They are liable because they failed to supervise the other person they were responsible for.
