both means the same thing but usually used for different context. Negligence is usually for legal terms. However.. one can say "careless" is soft word while negligence is a stronger emphasis.

"You are very careless!"
"This is a serious negligence on your part"
 
Jiro explained it well -

It is like a degree - Careless then Neglience then Abuse

Depends on how serious it is.


He left a cigarette burning on his sofa so he was careless. (he didnt think enough)

He placed a cigarette on someone's pants so he was neglient. (he knew better but was lazy or didnt care)

He shoved a cigarette into someone's skin and burned him so he was abusing him. (he did it on purpose)
 
Thank you guy for explain..

I understand what both are the purpose and not think right as lack responsible...

Thank you for your time :)
