Negligent Undertaking - Bethlehem Assaults and Bethlehem Injury

July 15, 2019 Posted in Articles Tagged in Personal Injury Share

Whether it is an Assault or an attack occurring in Bethlehem, Pa and/or injury occurring in Bethlehem, Pa an injured individual may claim another individual was negligent in rendering services to protect others. Often times in Bethlehem injury cases the injured party may bring a claim for Negligence along with a claim for Negligent undertaking. This is something you may want to consult with a Personal Injury Lawyer in Bethlehem, Pa. about.

The Pennsylvania Civil Jury Instructions set forth that “A person who provides services to protect people or their property must act in a reasonably careful manner, even if they provide the services without pay.” This instruction stems from Restatement (Second) of torts, §323 which allows liability for negligence for the failure to render the services offered if it can be shown that the negligence of the party that failed to render if that failure increased the risk of the harm that was suffered. This duty can also be enforced against a landlord for failure to protect their tenants. Feld v. Merriam, 485 A.2d 742 (Pa. 1984).
