cases that involve an act of negligence are referred to as what cases?

Cases that involve an act of negligence are referred to as "negligence cases". Negligence is a legal concept that refers to a failure to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm or injury to another person. When someone's negligence causes harm to another person, the injured party may file a civil lawsuit seeking compensation for damages. These cases are commonly known as negligence cases or negligence claims. To determine if a case involves negligence, certain elements must be established, such as duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. These elements will be evaluated by a judge or jury when determining liability in a negligence case.
