Answer 1

The answer is: A defendant commits a negligence tort when he is careless to someone else's detriment.

Negligence tort could only apply to someone who are legally binded to do a certain duty , but fail to actually follow the standards and caused some sort of harm toward other people because of it.

Example of this would be a surgeon that caused an infection to the patient because that surgeon did not sterilized his/her hand before conducting the surgery.
