The property owner sues the electrician for negligence. Under the applicable rules for determining the standard of care, which factor primarily establishes the electrician's duty?
Community expectations for electrical work.
The electrician's personal work habits.
The general standard of a prudent person.
Compliance with industry regulations and technical standards.
The standard of care for professionals like electricians is primarily defined by compliance with industry regulations and technical standards. Adhering to these established guidelines is essential, and deviation can indicate negligence.
