A quick definition of passive negligence:

Passive negligence is when someone fails to act or take necessary precautions, resulting in harm to others. It is a type of negligence where the person did not intentionally cause harm, but their carelessness led to it. For example, if a property owner fails to remove a hazardous condition on their property and someone gets injured, it could be considered passive negligence.

A more thorough explanation:

Passive negligence is a type of negligence where a person fails to act or omits to do something that a reasonable person would have done in a similar situation. It is a failure to exercise the standard of care that is required to protect others from harm. Passive negligence is also known as ordinary negligence or simple negligence.

For example, if a property owner fails to remove a hazardous condition from their property, such as a broken step, and someone is injured as a result, the property owner may be held liable for passive negligence. Another example is if a driver fails to stop at a red light and causes an accident, they may be held liable for passive negligence.

These examples illustrate how a person's failure to act or omission can result in harm to others, and how they can be held responsible for their passive negligence.
