Introduction

The objective aspect of negligence is formed by three features: 1) public dangerous acts in the form of an act or omission failure or improper execution of official duties due to fraud, 2) socially dangerous consequences in the form major damage, and 3) a causal link between the act and the consequences. Negligence is the result of the negligent attitude of the official to the execution of their official functions. Most often it is expressed in inaction, when the offender does not comply with what must, by virtue of his responsibilities. Negligence is a legal concept usually used in court for damages in case of accident or injury and the impact on health, and more recently for environmental damage. Negligence is a type of crime, but can also be used in criminal justice. Negligence means an activity that is to be blame, because there is no legal standard for protection against untoward events, and to predict risk by a member or organization.

Degrees of negligence are the levels or grade of negligence into which it has been divided by statutes and judicial decisions, ranging from minor negligence to that which is gross, wilful, or wanton. It is the measure of negligence essential for liability to result. For example, parties under compulsion to exercise great care, such as general carriers, may be responsible for minor negligence. Likewise, parties only required to exercise minor care, such as the driver of an automobile in a state which has a guest statute, will be responsible for a passenger only for gross negligence.

The categories of negligence are never closed and have been extended to cover liability for negligent misstatements or foreseeable mental harm. For the tort to be established, the breach of the duty by the act or omission must also have caused a loss, although if the loss is a pure economic loss there are difficulties.

In the negligence, the plaintiff has to prove his loss, the type of loss he has suffered, to win the recovery of those losses. In some situations, the defendant may not dispute the damages, however, the significant requirements in some cases in which the defendant does not deny the negligence claim, but there is not loss suffered by the plaintiff. If the pecuniary damages proved by the plaintiff, than, the plaintiff can attain the negligence damages for non-pecuniary loss like emotional distress, as well.
