Explain how a person can commit a breach of duty to another person in a negligence action?

A person can commit a breach of duty in a negligence action by failing to meet the standard of care expected in a given situation. This can include actions such as driving recklessly, failing to maintain property in a safe condition, or not following safety protocols in a professional setting. The breach of duty occurs when the person's actions fall below what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances.
