A quick definition of due care:

Term: Due care

Definition: Due care is the level of care that a reasonable person would take in a similar situation. It is used to determine if someone was negligent in a tort action. Due care can also refer to the level of diligence required in corporate law.

Source: Meyers v. Moody, 693 F.2d 1196

A more thorough explanation:

Due care is a legal term that refers to the level of care that a reasonable person would take in a given situation. It is also known as ordinary care or reasonable care. This standard of care is used in a tort action to determine whether a person was negligent.

For example, if a driver is involved in a car accident, the court will consider whether the driver exercised due care while driving. If the driver was distracted or driving recklessly, they may be found to have breached their duty of due care and be held liable for any damages caused by the accident.

Due care can also refer to the level of care that a company or organization takes to protect its employees, customers, and stakeholders. For example, a company may be found to have breached its duty of due care if it fails to provide a safe working environment for its employees.

In summary, due care is an important legal concept that helps to ensure that individuals and organizations act responsibly and take reasonable precautions to prevent harm to others.
