Negligence is the failure to exercise the degree of care required by law to protect others from harm. Premeditated liability refers to intentional actions taken that result in harm to others, while vicarious liability is a legal doctrine that holds a person or entity responsible for the actions of another. Punitive damages are awarded to punish a defendant for particularly egregious behavior.
