A quick definition of actionable negligence:

Actionable negligence is when someone fails to take reasonable care in a situation where they should have, and this causes harm to someone else. It's like being careless and not thinking about the consequences of your actions. This can lead to a legal case where the person who was harmed can sue for damages. Negligence can range from accidental mistakes to intentionally disregarding someone's safety. It's important to be careful and considerate of others to avoid causing harm.

A more thorough explanation:

Actionable negligence is a legal term that refers to the failure to exercise reasonable care in a situation where a reasonable person would have done so. It is conduct that falls below the legal standard established to protect others against unreasonable risk of harm, except for conduct that is intentionally, wantonly, or willfully disregardful of others' rights. This term denotes culpable carelessness.

For example, if a doctor fails to diagnose a patient's illness correctly, and the patient suffers harm as a result, the doctor may be liable for actionable negligence. Another example is if a driver runs a red light and causes an accident, they may be liable for actionable negligence.
