Book excerpt: negligence and malpracticeNegligence is a failure to follow the degree of care that would be followed by a reasonably prudentperson in order to avoid foreseeable harm. A person can be negligent if he or she acts with less care than a reasonable person would use under similar circumstances.Bob drove a car on a country road at 35 miles an hour. The maximum speed limit was 45 miles anhour. He struck and killed a cow that was crossing the road. The owner of the cow sued Bill for thevalue of the cow. Bill said that since he was not driving above the speed limit, there could be noliability for negligence. Was this defense valid? No. A person must at all times act in the manner inwhich a reasonable person would act under the circumstances. The fact that Bill was driving withinthe speed limit was only one of the circumstances to consider. The weather or the condition of theroad may have made it unreasonable to drive at 35 miles an hour. Driving slower than the speedlimit does not in and of itself prove that the driver was acting reasonably.The reasonable person standard varies in accordance with the situation. The degree of care required of a person is that which an ordinarily prudent person would exercise under similar circumstances. This does not necessarily mean a degree of care that would have prevented the harm from occurring.The elements required to establish negligence are: the presence of duty; a voluntary act or failure to act (an omission) that breaches the duty; proximate causation of harm; and damage (i.e., the breach of duty causes harm to the plaintiff).Torts involve duties created by law. Just because someone is hurt does not mean that someone elsemust pay for the harm. There must have been a duty which has been breached. A plaintiff will notbe allowed to recover from a defendant if the defendant did not breach a duty that was owed to the plaintiff. For example, if a burglar breaks into my house and trips over an item of furniture, I am not liable to the burglar because I had no duty to him. However, if a guest in my house trips over a piece of furniture, I may have a duty to that guest. The breach of duty must result from a voluntary act or failure to act.In order for someone to be legally responsible for damage, it is necessary to show that the wrongful act was the proximate cause of the harm. The injury must be shown to be the natural and probable result or consequence of the alleged act of negligence. The plaintiff must prove that the defendant's negligence proximately caused the Plaintiff's injury. There may be more than one proximate cause of an accident.The final element of negligence is damages. A plaintiff may recover monetary damages tocompensate the plaintiff for economic losses such as lost wages and medical expenses. A plaintiffmay also recover non-economic losses such as for pain and suffering. The former are claimed on anormal accounting basis, and the latter are at the discretion of the judge.(7) MalpracticeMalpractice is a failure by a physician or other professional to use the skill and care that othermembers of their profession would use under similar circumstances. When an accountant, doctor, attorney, or some other professional contracts to perform services, there is a duty to exercise skill and care as is common within the community for persons performing similar services. Failure to fulfil that duty is malpractice.(8) NuisanceNuisance is a civil wrong, consisting of anything wrongfully done or permitted that interferes with or annoys others in the enjoyment of their legal rights. It is anything that annoys or disturbs the free use of one's property or that renders its ordinary use or physical occupation uncomfortable.

Download or read book Contract Law and Tort Law a Casebook Study Approach written by Olga Posse and published by . This book was released on 2012-08-04 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unit 1 of this casebook covers U.S. Contract Law. Students will learn how to form contracts, how contracts are performed, and how to remedy a breach of contract. Contracts are involved in almost every field of law, and paralegals are often involved in resolving contract disputes. From a dispute over a repair bill to a major commercial transaction, lawyers rely on paralegals to assist them in protecting the contractual interests of their clients. To be effective, a paralegal must understand the basic principles that apply in contract law. This casebook will also specifically benefit pre law students by helping them to learn the fundamental rules of U.S. Contract law. It will help them to become proficient at applying those rules to analyze disputes that arise in connection with the formation, expression, interpretation, and breach of contracts. Finally, pre law students will learn how to use contract law and analytic skills to spot and argue issues on 1L contract law exams. Unit 2 of this casebook covers U.S. Tort Law. Tort law is one of the most important bodies of law because it governs everyday human interaction, and it is one of the most important fields of paralegal employment. This unit provides students with a general understanding of the laws dealing with civil wrongs and remedies for wrongs, including intentional torts, negligence, strict liability, defamation, invasion of privacy and the factors that affect a plaintiff's right to sue a defendant. Because tort law arises from everyday life, it is one of the most interesting and relevant areas of law.At most American law schools students are required to take the same core 1L classes -Contract Law, Tort Law, Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Property, and Legal Research & Writing. During 1L, law professors primarily teach using the case study method. But it is not until the very end of the semester that students begin to see how an area of law takes shape and how the rules they have learned during the semester interrelate. By studying contract and tort law before 1L, students are exposed to some of most important cases they will read during their first year, and they will have an early opportunity to brief pivotal case law and to practice legal analysis and reasoning that is directly adaptable to their 1L classes.

Book excerpt: This versatile casebook, written by authors who are at the forefront of torts scholarship, presents contemporary tort law in a clear and systematic framework. Now in its second edition, Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress , has been refined based on classroom feedback to make it even more user-friendly and informative to students and professors alike. Among the distinctive characteristics of this unique casebook: Tort law is presented as a coherent whole. Students leave the course with a clear sense of what tort law is and what it does, and how it differs from other bodies of law, such as contracts or criminal law. Painstaking case selection ensures that students will be exposed to memorable opinions that effectively convey the substance of tort doctrine while also enabling the professor to explore from any given intellectual or political perspective underlying issues of policy, process, and theory. Current and classic cases expose students to a diverse array of case law, including decisions from jurisdictions around the country and from trial courts as well as state and federal appellate courts. Modular design of chapters permits the professor to proceed from any of several different starting points, including intentional torts, negligence, or a big-picture overview of the field. Ample explanatory text is provided, particularly in chapters that are likely to be covered early in the course. Additional materials —three appendices and two “modules”— are provided to permit professors who teach 5- or 6-hour courses to cover issues of history, policy, and theory. Substantial expository text offers unparalleled guidance in clarifying key torts concepts such as duty, breach, proximate cause, and intent. the Teacher’s Manual sets the standard for giving professors everything they need to succeed in the classroom. the meticulous revision of this casebook includes: Revised Chapter 2, The Duty Element, makes the material more accessible to students and enables teachers to proceed more quickly through the duty component of negligence, should they wish to spend more time on other negligence topics or other torts. New cases are more straightforward and more modern than those they have replaced.. Revised Chapter 5, Proximate Cause and Palsgraf, presents with even greater clarity than the first edition, The topics within negligence law that are most prone to generate student confusion. Revised Chapter 9, Battery, Assault, and False Imprisonment, contains a new initial sequence of cases and notes carefully designed to support courses that begin with intentional torts. New website that includes ”retired” cases from the First Edition, practice questions, and other materials of interest. Tort Law: Responsibilities and Redress, Second Edition, offers a contemporary approach to teaching torts without sacrificing attention To The conceptual underpinnings necessary to an in-depth understanding of tort law’s operation in the modern legal system.
