Negligence is determined under statutory law by evaluating whether a defendant violated a specific statute designed to protect a certain class of individuals from harm, thereby establishing a breach of duty. In common law, negligence is assessed based on the reasonable person standard, where a defendant's actions are compared to those of a hypothetical reasonable person in similar circumstances. Both frameworks require the plaintiff to prove that the breach of duty caused harm, establishing a direct link between the defendant's actions and the injury suffered. Ultimately, the key elements of duty, breach, causation, and damages must be satisfied in both contexts to establish negligence.
