What is a potential consequence of negligence?

Liability for damages to others
Reduced claim benefits
Loss of coverage

The correct answer is: Liability for damages to others

Liability for damages to others is a direct consequence of negligence, which occurs when an individual fails to act with the care that a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances, resulting in harm to another person or their property. When negligence is established, the negligent party may be held legally responsible for the resulting damages. This can lead to a requirement to compensate the injured party for losses, medical expenses, or property damage. This consequence highlights the importance of exercising due diligence and caution in one’s actions, especially in risk-prone environments such as farming. Financial losses stemming from legal liabilities can be significant and could impact the individual’s ability to operate effectively. The other options, while they can be related to negligence in different contexts, do not directly stem from the legal implications of being found negligent in causing harm to others.
