Negligence

Negligence is broadly defined by the law as the failure to use the care that an ordinary person would be expected to use under circumstances similar to those being considered in any given claim. It can take the form of either an action or a failure to act, depending on context. Negligence is the basis for most of the personal injury and malpractice cases described above, with special cases requiring special definitions of the term. Our attorneys in the Asheville, Waynesville and Sylva areas employ a thorough, detailed understanding of what constitutes negligence in any given case in order to achieve the highest possible recovery for our clients.
