A civil wrong, also known as a tort, is an act or omission that violates a legal duty, giving the victim the right to bring a civil action for remedy.
Due care refers to the degree of care that a person of ordinary prudence and reason (a reasonable person) would exercise under given circumstances. It is a standard used in tort law to indicate the level of care or the legal duty one normally owes to others, and negligence is the failure to use due care.
