Negligence is defined as a person's inability to behave with the level of care that reasonable people would have in similar situations. A driver, for instance must obey traffic laws to avoid injuries or accidents to other road users. Doctors have a responsibility to provide patients with the same care that a similarly trained medical professional would offer in similar situations. Lawyers can employ expert testimony to show that the defendant's conduct was short of the industry standards.

This means that the statute of limitations does not begin until the injury is discovered or ought to have been discovered.
In other instances like those that involve intentional torts, like assaults and defamation, false imprisonment, and deliberate infliction or damage to emotional distress, the statute of limitations is longer. The statute of limitations may also be extended or waived in certain circumstances, for example, when minors are involved, or a person is serving in the military or in jail.
