What is Reasonable Care?

Reasonable care refers to the expectation of the caution and diligence an ordinary person would exercise to avoid causing harm in similar circumstances. In insurance law, this refers more specifically to the expectation that standard of treatment provided by healthcare professionals or establishments that would be considered adequate by a fair and sensible person.

According to Black’s Law Dictionary, reasonable care is defined as “the degree of care that a prudent and competent person engaged in the same line of business or endeavor would exercise under similar circumstances,” and as such serves as a legal standard used in tort law to assess whether a person’s actions or omissions meet the expected level of care necessary to prevent foreseeable risks of injury or damage.

The concept of reasonable care balances individual rights and societal interests by promoting responsible conduct, preventing injuries, and fostering trust in interpersonal and business relationships. Understanding reasonable care is essential for individuals, businesses, and professionals to mitigate risks, avoid legal disputes, and uphold ethical standards in their interactions and responsibilities.
