Art. 2176.. hoever by act or omission causes damage to there being fault or
negligence, is obliged to pay for the damage done. Cuch fault ornegligence, if there is
no pre1existing contractual relation between the parties, is called+asi-delict and is
governed by the provisions of this 3hapter.
!egligence is the omission to do something which a reasonman, guided by those
considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human aAwould do, or the doing of something which a prudent and reasonable man would drefers to the
conduct which creates undue ris- of harm to another, the failure tobserve that degree
of care, precaution and vigilance that the circumstance /ustly demwhereby that other
person suAers in/ury. The 3ourt declared the test by which to detethe existence of
negligence in $icart v. (mith.
The test by which to determine the existence of negligence in particular case may be
stated as follows: 8id the defendant in doing the alleged negligenuse that reasona(le care and ca+tion which an ordinarily prudent person would havin the same situation
If not, then he is guilty of negligence. The law here in eAect adopstandard supposed to
be supplied by the imaginary conduct of the discreet paterfamiliaoman law. The
existence of negligence in a given case is not determined by refethe personal
/udgment of the actor in the situation before him. The law considwould be rec-less,
blameworthy, or negligent in the man of ordinary intelligence andprudence and determines
liability by that.
?oral damages are awarded to compensate for the
suAering, mental anguish, fright, moral shoc-, sleepless nbesmirch reputation, wounded feelings of the complainanallegations do not suGce$ they must be substantiated by and convincing proof.
8amages are not intended to enrich the complainantexpense of the defendant. They are awarded only to allevthe moral suAering that the in/ured party had undergone reason of the defendantJs culpable action. 7 There is no haand1fast rule in the determination of what would be a fairamount of moral damages since each case must be goverits own peculiar facts.
!ominal damages may be awarded to a plaintiA whright has been violated or invaded by the defendant, for t
purpose of vindicating or recogniing that right, and not foindemnifying the plaintiA for any loss suAered by him. Its is thus not for the purpose of indemnication for a loss buthe recognition and vindication of a right. +ominal damagdamages in name only and not in fact. hen granted by tcourts, they are not treated as an e?uivalent of a wrong inbut simply a recognition of the existence of a technical in/violation of the plaintiAs right, even if only technical, is suto support an award of nominal damages. 3onversely, so as there is a showing of a violation of the right of the plainaward of nominal damages is proper.
/em)lar4 damages may be awarded in order to tethe defendant a lesson, to provide an example for the pubgood.
#i+idated damages are those which have been agrthe parties orally or in writing.
