A quick definition of levis culpa:

Levis culpa: A Latin term that means "slight fault" or "ordinary negligence". It refers to conduct that falls short of what an ideal person should do, but is not as serious as gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing. In legal terms, levis culpa may make a person liable for unintentional harm caused to another party.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Levis culpa is a Latin term that refers to slight fault or ordinary negligence. It is a type of unintentional wrong that can make a party to a contract or quasi-contract liable to the other party.

Examples:

  • Levis culpa can occur when a driver fails to signal before changing lanes and causes an accident.
  • In a bailment agreement, levis culpa can occur if the bailee fails to take reasonable care of the bailed property.
  • Levis culpa can also occur when a doctor fails to provide the level of care that an ideal paterfamilias (a Roman term for a responsible head of household) would provide.

These examples illustrate how levis culpa can result from a failure to act with reasonable care or to meet a certain standard of conduct. While levis culpa is not as serious as gross negligence or intentional wrongdoing, it can still result in liability for the responsible party.
