Negligence claims arise in a wide-range of scenarios in modern law. In general a negligence claim will arise where loss, damage or injury has been suffered as a result of an action – or failure to act – by another party (individual, company, local authority etc.) that owe a duty of care towards the person who has suffered the loss, damage or injury.
Scenarios of where this arises include unsatisfactory results of medical procedures and operations and personal injuries sustained due to a fall upon failure of the owner of premises to take sufficient precautions to avoid such an outcome.
