Some people have a difficult time understanding the Tort Law of Negligence. One
reason for this is that the Classical definition of Accident is not the same as a Negligent
Universe is based upon random accident. Most of us do not live in that Universe
anymore because it is too uncertain. Instead we shift into a Metaphysical Universe where
there are Necessary Causes or Natural Laws at work which structure the Universe. In
this Universe, there are relatively few, or maybe even no Accidents, in terms of reality, as
such. In the Tort Law of Negligence, it is assumed that we live in a Universe where
some accidents take place randomly. Not all accidents result in a finding of Negligence,
laws which are designed to decrease the probability of a harmful accident from
degree angles, from an intersecting street, the Rules of the Road state that a driver must
yield to a car coming down a intersecting street from the right hand side. This avoids
collisions in the intersection. Tort Law provides damages against those who act
a car coming from the right, and there was an accident, then the driver would be liable in
would have a duty to act reasonably by slowing down and proceeding cautiously through
the intersection to avoid an “accident” from taking place. Typically, the required
reasonable behavior requires conduct which reduces the probability that an accident will
take place. However, since my autonomy is affected by the reasonable rule, there should
be a reasonable or rational requirement as to the rule itself. Yielding to the car on the
noted that the idea of some sort of Strict Determinism is rejected. Reality involves
