Negligence by omission: Negligence by omission occurs when a person fails to act reasonably to prevent potential harm to another person. 3. Contributory Negligence: Contributory negligence occurs when a person contributes to their own injury by failing to exercise reasonable care for their own safety. 4. Comparative Negligence: Comparative negligence occurs when both parties are at fault and their degree of fault is compared to determine the amount of damages each party should receive.
