ABSTRACT

Most legal issues surround the concept of one party or the other acting in a manner that can only be described as

negligent

. Negligence can result in all types of accidents causing physical and/or property damage, but can also include business errors and miscalculations such as sloppy engineering calculations. There are many forms of negligence-professional, legal, and as many types as there are professions. I’m sure that I, as a nonlawyer, am not aware of even a fraction of the types of potential negligence that can be alleged, but I will mention the two that are most often encountered in professional litigation involvement or support.
