People have a tendency to throw around legal terms when they really don't know what those terms mean. The term "negligent" is certainly among the terms that get used in this way. If someone is accusing you of having been negligent, you'll want to talk to an attorney. It may very well be the case that any car wreck you were involved in was the result of someone else's negligence.
Everyone makes mistakes. In fact, most car wrecks are rightly called accidents. Accidents are simply unintentional crashes. Negligence, however, means not taking an action or taking an action that's contrary to what could be expected of a normal person in the same situation.
When someone is negligent, it doesn't mean that they just made a mistake. It means that they did something that could have been avoided.
Negligence may involve some element of anger or ill-will, but it's not at all necessary. Someone can be negligent without meaning you any harm at all. The point of negligence is that they didn't act in a reasonable way. This doesn’t mean that they failed to drive like a professional: it means that they failed to drive like a normal person with a license.
You may end up in a situation where someone is threatening to sue you over and over. They may even start harassing you. Keep in mind that threats to sue do not have any power to make you pay compensation for anything. You would actually have to file a lawsuit to get compensation.
Call an attorney if someone keeps threatening to sue you. Sometimes, they do it because they know they were negligent and they're trying to intimidate you. If you keep getting angry calls and threats to sue, tell them that you look forward to hearing from their lawyer and that they're not to contact you anymore. Then, get a lawyer of your own.
