Negligence is behavior that creates an unreasonable risk of harm to others.To win a negligence case,the plaintiff must prove four elements: a)the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff; b)the defendant breached the duty of care he or she owed the plaintiff; c)the defendant caused harm to the plaintiff; and d)the plaintiff experienced damages as a result.In the instant case,Steven knew his dog had dangerous propensities,but he failed to warn Cindy or otherwise take precautionary measures that would have reduced or eliminated the likelihood of harm to her.
