supine negligence

Read a random definition: beneficial use

A quick definition of supine negligence:

Supine negligence is when someone is aware of the risk they are creating but still acts carelessly. It is a type of negligence where someone fails to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in a similar situation. Negligence is when someone's conduct 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. Supine negligence is also known as advertent negligence or willful negligence.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Supine negligence is a type of negligence where the actor is aware of the unreasonable risk they are creating but still fails to take reasonable care to avoid it. It is also known as advertent negligence or willful negligence.

Example: A driver who is aware that their brakes are faulty but still chooses to drive without getting them fixed is an example of supine negligence. The driver knows that driving with faulty brakes is dangerous and could cause harm to others, but they still choose to take the risk and drive anyway.

This example illustrates the definition of supine negligence because the driver is aware of the risk they are creating but still fails to take reasonable care to avoid it. They are acting willfully and intentionally disregarding the safety of others, which is a form of culpable carelessness.
