Negligence is failure to prevent harm from occurring to another, by not exercising reasonable care for the safety of others. Negligence is established in court by showing that the defendant had a legal duty to the plaintiff, such as giving the pedestrian the right of way at a crosswalk, and failed in that duty, causing an accident and injury to the pedestrian. There are, of course, many other ways that motorists can be negligent and cause pedestrian accidents, including drivers who are speeding, driving recklessly, texting while driving, or drunk driving.
