English term or phrase: lowest form of negligence under the law
You will see Jones Act negligence is very, very different from ordinary negligence under State law. In many instances it is much easier to prove negligence under the Jones Act than in a State law claim such as a automobile accident or a slip and fall in a grocery store. Jones Act negligence is said to be the lowest form of negligence under the law. Meaning the level of negligence is much lower threshold in a Jones Act case than a State law claim.

disagree  Sandro Tomasi: El “peor” tipo de negligencia, según mi entender, es la categoría más alta, p. ej. criminal negligence en lo penal y gross negligence en lo civil (aunque algunas jurisdicciones usan este término en lo penal también).

  -> Quizas para una traduccion verbatim. Insisto en que "peor tipo" expresa lo que se quiere decir aqui. Gracias por tu comentario.
neutral  jacana54 (X): De acuerdo con Sandro, y el fundamento surge del texto citado en la pregunta.
