What is Negligence?

Negligence is a legal term used to describe the failure of a person or a party to show a reasonable level of care toward another. A negligent person’s irresponsible, careless behavior can cause harm or injury to another person. In a personal injury case, negligence is used to establish who is at fault for the accident in question, and a personal injury lawyer works to prove the defendant’s negligence so that the plaintiff may gain financial compensation for his or her injuries.

If you or a loved one has been harmed because of the negligent actions of another party, contact the Bronx personal injury lawyers at Parker Waichman, LLP by calling 1-888-244-2273 today.
