_Foreseeability and Remoteness Applicable As Fundamental Elements of Negligence Law Principles

Understanding Foreseeability and Remoteness As Elements of Neglience Law Principles

The basic definition of negligence, generally, states that negligence involves the failure to do what a hypothetical person, acting reasonably and prudently would do or would refrain from doing in a given situation; however, there is much more involved in a negligence liability case.

The Law

In a negligence case, for legal liability to arise there are four essential elements that must be proven or the case shall fail.  The four essential elements are:

• A duty of care is owed;
• A standard of care was breached;
• A breach was what caused any resulting harm; and
• A damage occurred that was foreseeable and proximate, meaning without remoteness.

The issues of foreseeability and remoteness are actually defensive concerns, meaning that a Defendant who is defending against a negligence case may allege that the damage that resulted was unforeseeable or too far remote from the causation incident.  These aspects of negligence law often receive little attention
