Liability is responsibility whereas negligence
is a lack of responsibility.
If
someone is liable for the damage to your car, it means that they have done
something wrong by which they had brought about the damage. Negligence means an
injury or accident caused by someone for not doing something in a proper way.
For example, an accident involving drunk driving is negligence.
Liability can also be defined as a
cause that leads to negative results. In legal terms, liability does not mean
that there is a conscious decision or effort to create an injury or accident
which could lead to any harm. In legal terms, negligence is defined as the lack
of care or concern of persons to take essential steps to address certain dangers
or hazards.
Negligence is also defined as the
careless conduct that could create liability. It can also be called a failure
to behave as a responsible person.
Legal
liability arises from three legal wrongs such as: a tort, crime, and breach of
contract. A tort is a wrong committed against organizations or people causing a
loss to them. Crime includes: auto
theft, burglary, murder, rape, robbery, theft, and more like that. Breach of contract is a condition in which a
contract or agreement is not addressed, or adhered to.
A
court will award damages in the case of negligence if it satisfies the
requirements that there was failure to perform a duty if the plaintiff had
suffered loss or injury because of the negligent act.
