A more thorough explanation: Negligent is a term used in legal contexts to describe a person’s failure to exercise the degree of care that a reasonable person would exercise in similar circumstances. It refers to a lack of proper care or attention, resulting in harm or damage to another person or their property. In legal terms, negligence can give rise to civil liability, where the negligent party may be required to compensate the injured party for their losses.
Example: The defendant was found negligent in maintaining a safe working environment, resulting in the plaintiff’s injury.
