Hawaii Negligence Claim
Negligence has been defined as the doing of something that a reasonably prudent person wouldn't do or the failure to do something that a reasonable person would do under similar circumstances. Negligence can be either affirmative conduct or the failure to perform an affirmative act. For example, in a car crash, or any type of auto accident, whether it be a truck accident, bus accident, a motorcycle accident, or even a pedestrian accident, this could mean a broad range of behavior, from a lapse of attention causing a driver to rearend another vehicle, cross a center line, fail to yield the right of way, or run a stop sign, resulting in a collision, to affirmative conduct constituting unsafe driving, such as speeding, or drunk driving. The hypothetical "reasonable person" standard is used as the basis to judge human behavior. A reasonable person utilizes care under circumstances in which it is foreseeable that the failure to do so would pose an unreasonable risk of injury to others.
