Step-by-step explanation:

NEGLIGENCE

Negligence is simply a mean or troublesome activity/conduct by a person. If defendant's conduct fails to rise to a standard of care of that of a reasonable person in the same or similar circumstances, the defendant's conduct must breach a duty to prevent a foreseeable risk of harm to the plaintiff.

Negligence seeks for a duty was owed, that a duty was breached and the breach was the reason and close cause of damages.
