reckless negligence

A quick definition of reckless negligence:

Reckless negligence is when someone does something that is very careless and puts others in danger. It's worse than regular negligence, which is when someone doesn't take enough care to avoid causing harm. Reckless negligence can be punished as a crime, and the person who did it can be made to pay money to the people they hurt.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Reckless negligence is a type of negligence that involves a conscious and voluntary act or omission in reckless disregard of a legal duty and of the consequences to another party. It is also known as gross negligence or willful negligence.

Examples: An example of reckless negligence is a driver who is aware of the risks of driving under the influence of alcohol but still chooses to do so, causing an accident that injures others. Another example is a doctor who prescribes a medication without checking for potential interactions with the patient's other medications, resulting in harm to the patient.

Explanation: In both examples, the individuals involved were aware of the risks and consequences of their actions but chose to act recklessly anyway. This type of negligence goes beyond ordinary negligence, which involves a failure to exercise reasonable care, and can result in more severe legal consequences.
