Wikipedia

  1. culpable negligence

    Endangerment is a type of crime involving conduct that is wrongful and reckless or wanton, and likely to produce death or grievous bodily harm to another person. There are several kinds of endangerment, each of which is a criminal act that can be prosecuted in a court. In some U.S. states, such as Florida, substantially similar language is used for the crime of culpable negligence. The offense is intended to prohibit and therefore deter reckless or wanton (of a cruel or violent action, deliberate and unprovoked conduct) that wrongfully creates a substantial risk of death or serious injury to others.

Examples of culpable negligence in a Sentence

  1. Dave Aronberg:

    Culpable negligence requires some knowledge that the building's collapse was imminent and someone did nothing about it, a report that says there's a lot of structural damage and then the board didn't shut down the building right away or the building (official) didn't shut down the building right away -- that's not criminal.
