Negligence Per Se - Statutory Negligence
Negligence can arise from a violation of a statute that creates a duty by declaring that certain
requirements must be followed or that certain acts must not be done. By enacting such a law, the
legislature has determined the appropriate standard of care to which an individual’s conduct
must conform. Conduct that violates the requirements of such a statute constitutes negligence.
The plaintiff has alleged that the defendant has violated the following statutory (duty/duties):
<insert allegations of the complaint and text of relevant statutes>.
A violation by the defendant of a duty imposed by one or more of these statutes constitutes
negligence. If you find that the defendant has violated one or more of these statutes then the
defendant's conduct is negligent as a matter of law.
