About this tool
What Is This Negligence?
A free educational resource to help you understand whether your situation may involve legal negligence — and what to do next.
About the Tool
Is This Negligence? was created to bridge the gap between everyday people and the legal system. When something bad happens — a car accident, a slip and fall, a medical error — most people don't know where to start. They don't know if they have a case, what evidence to gather, or when to call a lawyer.
This tool walks you through the four core elements of a negligence claim — duty, breach, causation, and damages — using plain language and guided questions. At the end, you receive a personalized assessment of your situation along with practical next steps.
The tool was developed in partnership with Juan Cordero Lawyers, a Florida personal injury firm with over 26 years of experience and more than $100 million recovered for clients. Their legal expertise shaped the questions, logic, and guidance you'll find throughout the site.
This is not a substitute for legal advice. Every situation is unique, and only a licensed attorney can evaluate the specific facts of your case. But this tool can help you understand the landscape — and know when it's time to make that call.
Built on legal principles
The assessment logic is grounded in established negligence law — the same four-element framework courts use to evaluate personal injury claims.
