Definition of Gross Negligence
''Gross negligence'' is that degree of negligence which shows such indifference to others as constitutes an utter disregard of caution amounting to a complete neglect of the safety of another person [another person's property]. It is such negligence as would shock fairminded people, although it is something less than willful recklessness.
