What Is Negligence Under Utah Law?
Negligence is the failure to use the care that an ordinary person, in similar circumstances would use. Because of the failure to use care, another individual is caused harm. Technically, there are four elements to negligence: (1) A duty to exercise reasonable care; (2) A breach of the duty to exercise reasonable care; (3) The breach causes; (4) Damages. These elements are the foundation of virtually every personal injury claim.
