Why is negligence the most common tort?

Negligence is the most common tort because it covers a broad range of situations where one party fails to exercise reasonable care, resulting in harm to another. The elements of negligence are easier to establish compared to other torts like intentional torts or strict liability, making it a common basis for lawsuits. Additionally, negligence can occur in various aspects of daily life, such as car accidents, slip and falls, and medical malpractice.
