Negligence, in the legal sense, is the tort or "civil wrong" in which an individual or entity acts in a irresponsible or negligent manner resulting in serious injury or death to another. As far as what can happen because of negligence, you can be sued and lose a great sum of money in order to pay back the injured party for "damages" incurred. The article below further discusses negligence and explains the elements involved in proving negligence in any one case.
