What Is Negligence

What is Negligence?

Negligence is legally defined as the failure to use “reasonable care” when engaging in any sort of activity. It may also be described as carelessness or lack of expected capability (as in the case of a doctor treating a patient without the expected level of competence). Negligence often will result in harm done to another individual, and it is considered to be one of the main causes of personal injury.

If you would like to learn more about negligent behavior and how it may lead to personal injury, please contact the Des Moines personal injury lawyers of LaMarca Law Group, P.C. today at (515) 705-0233 to speak with a qualified representative.
