willful negligence

A quick definition of willful negligence:

Willful negligence refers to a situation where someone intentionally and knowingly fails to fulfill their legal duty. This means that they are aware of their responsibilities but choose to ignore them. Willfulness does not necessarily mean that the person has bad intentions, but it goes beyond just knowing what they should do. It involves a deliberate decision to act in a certain way, even if it means breaking the law or causing harm to others.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Willful negligence is a type of negligence where a person intentionally disregards a known legal duty. It involves acting purposely or by design, with deliberateness and intention.

For example, if a doctor intentionally fails to provide proper medical care to a patient, knowing that it could cause harm or injury, it would be considered willful negligence. Similarly, if a driver intentionally ignores traffic rules and causes an accident, it would also be considered willful negligence.

Willfulness does not necessarily imply malice, but it involves more than just knowledge. It is a voluntary and intentional violation of a known legal duty.
