Negligence Mind Map: Structure and Key Branches
A tort of negligence mind map shows how a claim is built. The tort is a civil wrong where the defendant owed a duty of care, breached it, and caused foreseeable damage to the claimant. A good map places these elements at the centre, then branches out into the tests, leading cases and defences that apply to each one.
- Duty of care: the neighbour principle and the Caparo test
- Breach: the standard of the reasonable person and the Bolam test
- Causation: the but-for test and remoteness of damage
- Damage: physical injury, property loss and pure economic loss
- Defences: contributory negligence, consent and volenti
Use the map to revise each element in order, then test yourself with a quiz. Create a personalised negligence map from your own notes with CogniGuide.

Negligence Mind Map Questions
Answers on the tort itself and on making your own map.
What are the four elements of negligence?
A claimant must prove a duty of care, breach of that duty, a causal link between the breach and the loss, and damage that is not too remote. Each element is usually considered separately in a claim.
What is the neighbour principle?
From Donoghue v Stevenson, the neighbour principle holds that you must take reasonable care to avoid acts or omissions that you can reasonably foresee would injure your neighbours, meaning those closely and directly affected by your conduct.
Which file types can I use to build my map?
You can upload PDF, Word (DOCX), PowerPoint (PPTX), text or Markdown files, or images of notes. You can also type a topic and let the AI build the map from it.
Can I turn my negligence map into a quiz?
Yes. Once the map is built, you can turn it into a quiz to test yourself on the elements and cases. The same notes can also become flashcards.
