A quick definition of gross negligence:
Gross negligence is when someone doesn't take enough care and puts other people's safety or lives in danger. It's worse than regular negligence because it shows that the person didn't even try to be careful and didn't care about the consequences. It's like they were being reckless on purpose. If someone is found guilty of gross negligence, they can be responsible for paying more money to the people they hurt than if it was just regular negligence.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Gross negligence is when someone shows a complete lack of care for the safety or lives of others. It's so bad that it seems like they don't care about other people's rights to be safe. Gross negligence is worse than regular negligence because it shows a reckless disregard for the consequences of their actions. It's not quite as bad as intentionally trying to harm someone, but it's still really bad.
For example, if a doctor was supposed to give a patient a certain medication, but accidentally gave them the wrong one, that would be regular negligence. But if the doctor knew they were giving the wrong medication and did it anyway, that would be gross negligence.
Another example would be if a construction worker was supposed to put up a safety fence around a construction site, but didn't do it. If someone got hurt because they fell into the construction site, that would be gross negligence because the worker knew they were supposed to put up the fence but didn't do it anyway.
These examples show how gross negligence is worse than regular negligence because it involves a conscious decision to not take care of other people's safety.
