Gas and oilfield-related accidents can happen because of negligence committed by many entities working at any drilling or production job site.

Negligence is a legal concept that refers to the failure of an individual or entity to exercise a level of care that a reasonable person would have exercised in similar circumstances. To prove negligence in a legal context, the following elements must typically be established:

• Duty of Care: The defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. The relationship between the parties and the case circumstances usually defines this duty.
• Breach of Duty: The defendant breached this duty of care by failing to act as a reasonable person would have acted in similar circumstances. This can include actions taken by the defendant or failures to act when there was a duty to do so.
• Causation: The defendant's breach of duty caused or contributed to the plaintiff's injury or damages. There must be a direct link between the defendant's actions and the harm suffered by the plaintiff.
• Damages: The plaintiff suffered actual harm or damages due to the defendant's breach of duty. This can include physical injuries, property damage, emotional distress, or financial losses.

In essence, negligence involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, harming another party. It is a critical concept in tort law and forms the basis for many personal injury claims.
