Pronto Injury Law: A Deep Dive into Negligence Per Se Claims
Understanding Negligence Per Se
Negligence Per Se is a specialized area within the broad spectrum of negligence claims. Essentially, it provides a more direct route to establish liability based on a violation of Nevada law.
-
What is Negligence Per Se?
- It is a definitive method of proving negligence. If a party violates a specific provision of Nevada law, and this violation directly results in an injury, it's termed as negligence per se.
- An example is automobile accidents where the driver at fault also receives a legal citation for their actions leading to the crash. If a person drives under the influence, causes an accident, and is charged for the DUI, they are liable under negligence per se as they both violated the law and caused the accident.
Negligence Per Se vs. Regular Negligence
While they may seem similar, there's a crucial distinction:
- Overlap but not identical: Every instance of negligence per se is also an act of regular negligence. However, the opposite isn't true. Not every act of negligence is considered negligence per se.
- Legal Violation vs. Carelessness: Negligence per se requires a direct violation of Nevada law. Regular negligence, on the other hand, pertains to general carelessness, even if it doesn't breach a specific statutory provision.
