Re: criminal negligence

Criminal negligence depends on the particular facts of the case. It generally means that one person caused the injury or death of another, but didn't intend to do so. Usually this is when they act with a reckless disregard for the safety of others. If this sounds like your situation, then you can address it with both criminal and civil actions. The criminal action would have to come from the county solicitors office. The civil action would come from you contacting a private attorney who could file a law suit. Obviously these cases are quite complicated and you are welcome to call for more advice. Robert Johnston (843) 828-1137
