Not all negligence is the same.
There’s a difference between making a mistake and acting with complete disregard for other people’s safety.
That’s where gross negligence comes in. ⚖️
If someone intentionally hurts another person, that’s intentional misconduct. But some conduct is so reckless that the law treats it similarly.
Drunk driving through a school zone at high speed is one example. The driver may not intend to hurt someone, but the behavior is so dangerous that punitive damages may apply.
Those damages are meant to punish conduct that goes far beyond ordinary carelessness.
And when reckless decisions permanently change someone’s life, accountability matters.
