Negligence Per Se
A legal doctrine where an act is considered negligent because it violates a statute or regulation, thereby causing harm to a person that the statute was designed to protect.
Assumption of Risk
A legal doctrine stating that an individual knowingly and voluntarily assumes the risk of an activity, thereby relieving another party from liability for harm caused during the activity.
