Negligence claims are the most common in civil litigation. Most cases arise from vehicular traffic accidents. Besides its civil aspects, negligence may also be an aspect of a criminal prosecution, if it results in manslaughter or if it is a serious breach of a public duty (e.g., carelessness by the engineer of a train). In medical, psychotherapeutic, legal, and other professional relationships, negligence is measured against generally accepted knowledge and practice standards and is called malpractice.
