Answer 1

When someone is hurt because of another person's or entity's carelessness or negligence, he or she can recuperate economic and noneconomic damages that flow from the negligence. He or she will also have to show duty, breach of duty, and damages. The actual case is called cause in fact. However, if the defendant's behavior created the cause in fact, the defendant may be liable for negligence.
