Best Answer

Act of Commission is the doing of an act that causes harm. Example: I dug a hole in the road and you fell into it. I am liable because I dug the hole which caused you injury. Act of Omission is the failure to do something which failure causes harm. Example: I saw a hole in the road, I knew it was there, I failed to cover it up or failed to warn you about it and you fell in. I did not do what a prudent person would have done to keep someone from harm.
