Statute of Repose

Duty of Care

A duty of care is an obligation that a person owes others to exercise reasonable caution when performing a task that could be expected to cause harm. If a person fails fulfill a duty of care and someone is injured as a result, this is considered to be negligence. A business or individual is bound by a duty of caring to the public in various situations. This includes doctors who are preparing tax returns, accountants making tax returns, and store owners clearing snow off sidewalks to ensure that people don't get harm themselves.

To successfully seek damages in a tort claim you must prove that the party who injured you was owed a duty of care, that they violated that duty of care and that their negligence was the direct and proximate cause of your injury. The standard of care is typically determined by what other doctors would do under similar circumstances. If a surgeon performs surgery in the wrong limb it could be deemed to be a breach of duty because other surgeons would take the correct chart under similar circumstances.

It is vital to note, too, that the standard of care must not be enough to impose unlimited liability on all parties. In jury trials, as well as in bench trials, the balance is carefully examined by both juries and judges.
