A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lata culpa is a Latin term that refers to gross negligence, which is a serious failure to take reasonable care or to act with reasonable caution. It is a type of fault or negligence that is unintentional but still considered a wrongdoing.

For example, if a bus driver is driving recklessly and causes an accident that injures passengers, the driver may be held liable for lata culpa. This is because the driver's actions were not intentional, but they were still grossly negligent and put the passengers at risk.
