Question

Describe the Standard of Care Breached?

Answer 1

The standard of care indicates how a defendant should act; it is breached when the defendant acts less carefully. The standard of care is based on the mythical reasonable person, someone of “normal intelligence who makes prudence a guide to his conduct.”

In other words, it is “someone of average intelligence who will prudently exercise sensible concern, allowing for all the situations.”
