Under both contributory and comparative negligence, the negligence of the defendant is not in doubt; it has been proved by the plaintiff. The basic difference between the two concepts is that comparative negligence attempts to compensate the plaintiff for some portion of her injuries, no matter how small, where as contributory negligence serves to bar completely a damage award for injury.

What difference between law of contract and law of tort?
Contract law is based on an enforceable written or verbal agreement. The elements of a breach oc contract claim are offer, acceptance and consideration. "Consideration" is value given or promised to support the undertakings of each party to the contract. It can consist of various things, such as money, services, or the mutual exschange of promises. Some contracts must be in writing in order to be enforceable. Contracts made for an illegal purpose, for example gambling or prostitution, are not enforceable at all (assuming the place where the contract is made does not permit the activity) Tort law is the law of "personal wrongs" and is different from contracts. An example of a tort is negligence. Negligence is the failure of a person to use that degree of care that a hypothetical "reasonable person" would use under similar circumstances. If someone is harmed or sustains damages as a result, the wrongdoer may be held liable. In general, the extent of damages recoverable are those which are reasonably foreseeable from the standpoint of the wrongdoer. As a practical matter, that measure of damages is fluid in that "reasonably foreseeable" is determined by the finder of fact (judge or jury).

Can an adjuster refuse a claim when their driver was issued a ticket at the scene of an accident?
The broad answer is "No", if only because a ticket is merely an accusation, not a determination of guilt or liability. But the issue gets more complicated depending upon the coverage involved. For example, collision coverage is a first-party coverage intended to pay for the physical damage to ones own car. If the claim is otherwise covered (meaning essentially that the insured has done everything required by the policy to assert the claim), the fact that the insured was given a ticket, and even if he convicted of the offense, will not ordinarily bar recovery. This is in contrast to another kind of first-party insurance, uninsured motorist coverage. It is designed to pay the same sort of damages to a person injured in a collision which the other driver or owner's liability insurance would have paid if that person had bodily injury liability coverage (such as damages for a permanent injury, pain and suffering, disfigurement, etc.). Stated otherwise, uninsured motorist coverage takes the place of the at-fault driver's/owner's bodily injury liability coverage when he/she does not have that coverage. Normally, the payment of uninsured motorist coverage benefits to an injured party will follow the same rules of negligence law as a claim directly against the at-fault driver, and thereby, principles of comparative or contributory negligence usually apply. Therefore, if the claimant is cited for a moving violation related to the collision and convicted of the violation, that finding may be interpreted as some degree of negligence, which may, in turn, have a bearing upon recovery from the insurer.
How is renter's insurance different from homeowner's insurance?
