Grotefeld Hoffmann is excited to be part of the National Association of Subrogation Professionals Spring Conference at The Hotel Hersey in Hersey, Pennsylvania. If you’re attending, be sure to check out the following session:
Laura Johnson and Zach Lucio will present “The Basic Standard of Care: The Reasonably Prudent Person Standard” on Thursday, March 21st from 12:30pm-1:30pm.
Most of us like to think we’re reasonable people, but compared to who? What does it mean to be a reasonably prudent person? In the legal context, the “reasonably prudent person” is a curious standard that refers to a hypothetical reasonably prudent person’s reaction to the actual circumstances alleged in a case and serves as a comparative standard for courts to assess liability. Laura and Zach will explore the interpretations, explanations, and implications of the reasonably prudent person standard when it comes to negligence claims.
