Del. P.J.I. Civ. § 5.9
Reckless Conduct Defined
RECKLESS CONDUCT DEFINED
Reckless conduct reflects a knowing disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable
risk. It amounts to an “I don’t care” attitude. Recklessness occurs when a person,
with no intent to cause harm, performs an act so unreasonable and so dangerous that
he or she knows, or should know, that harm will probably result.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
