Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Negligence occurs when someone fails to act in a reasonably careful manner, meaning that a reasonable person would have foreseen the potential harm caused by their actions. Dropping a bowling ball on someone's foot is an action that a reasonable person would recognize as potentially harmful, so if Jay did not take reasonable care to avoid dropping the ball on Kyla's foot, he could be held liable for negligence. None of the other choices (A, C, D) are relevant to the concept of negligence.
