Zone of Danger

The Zone of Danger refers to the area immediately surrounding a hazardous activity or situation where a person is at risk of injury. In legal terms, it often pertains to scenarios like accidents or negligence, indicating that someone was physically close enough to the danger, such as being near a threatened or harmful action, and therefore may have a claim for damages. Essentially, it’s the space where a person's safety might be compromised due to the hazardous event, emphasizing the importance of proximity in determining liability and responsibility for injuries.
