legal negligence

legal negligence
Negligence per se; the omission of such care as ordinarily prudent persons exercise and deem adequate to the circumstances of the case. In cases where the common experience of mankind and the common judgment of prudent persons have recognized that to do or omit certain acts is productive of danger, the doing or omission of them is "legal negligence." Failure to perform duty law imposes on one person for benefit of another.
