3 hours ago the first line in the Wikipedia article was
>Gross negligence is a legal concept which means serious carelessness.
This is the current opening line of the Wikipedia article now.
What do you think, Sup Forums?
Wikipedia changed the definition of 'gross negligence'
Tyler Sullivan
Asher Gutierrez
what about it m8
Luke Thompson
Jace Myers
change it back?
Samuel Smith
Gross negligence is a willful or reckless disregard of the law.
Cooper Bennett
Its more correct now than it was before.
Gross negligence typically requires the person to have a understanding of the negligent act that can legally be considered understanding that the act is negligent.
Colton Sanchez
Here you go.
gross negligence
n. carelessness which is in reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, and is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other people's rights to safety. It is more than simple inadvertence, but it is just shy of being intentionally evil. If one has borrowed or contracted to take care of another's property, then gross negligence is the failure to actively take the care one would of his/her own property. If gross negligence is found by the trier of fact (judge or jury), it can result in the award of punitive damages on top of general and special damages.

Common law is garbage. Don't even try. Abandoning thread
Nicholas Clark

Cooper Brooks

Isaac Bailey

Joshua Sanders
>I didn't know firing a gun into a crowd might hurt people!
>I didn't know that letting a child swim in a pool alone might be dangerous!
>I didn't know that drain cleaner is toxic and shouldn't be used in barbecue sauce!
Lincoln Jenkins
He's not dumb. He knows what he's doing. Even if it were changed, none of that matters to muh common law. Just the opines of the lawyerjudges. No statutes required. Court rooms are dinner parties here
Dylan Cox
More reasons why this is all so shitty. We always gotta fight and play law and order. What do the statutes say. That is all that should matter. But here? Things don't work that way
Connor Foster
nah. I heard the FBI BS earlier today, but no, I was not aware of this Wikipedia change
Matthew Rogers
No. You didn't know that lack of knowledge of the law isn't a defence?
William Peterson
I'm not saying this a big deal. It's just an interesting "coincidence."
Joseph Edwards
Andrew Johnson
A very accurate definition
Michael Fisher
read that wiki page you linked to m8. it was drive-by-edited
Grayson Nelson
I have linked to nothing ITT
Julian Perez
Oh, I though you were he linked to this specific wikipedia instance (it's since been mostly fixed)
en.wikipedia.org
Kevin Sanchez
I thought he was saying his link explains OP. Which would have made more sense. But dont worry
Gabriel Brooks
This is what I think:
law.cornell.edu
Gross Negligence
A lack of care that demonstrates reckless disregard for the safety or lives of others, which is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other people's rights to safety. It is more than simple inadvertence, and can affect the amount of damages.
Samuel Sanders
Why should we even be surprised at this point, practically anyone can edit/manipulate wikipedia. This is extremely obvious with the pages on that retarded gamergate controversy.
Your schoolteachers were right, wikipedia is NOT a reliable source.
Luke Hernandez
Cooper Bailey
fucking hell
Hunter Ross
Wikipedia is not a legal dictionary. Please do not use Wikipedia for research, use it to get a general idea and if you wand more information, check Wikipedia's sources.
Tyler Baker
It's the 1984 source.
