Contributory negligence is taken into consideration in all aspects of the claim. I strongly disagree with using this tactic in not paying claims. A couple of insurance companies have been using contributory negligence alot to get out of paying claims like they should. I can't tell you which companies I am referring to but one has a green lizard on their advertisements and the other can pop you out of a car that's going to be hit by a buffalo by repeating a phrase and huddling together. These two companies have been the leader when it comes to this tactic. They can claim that both parties are 50% At Fault and then they don't have to pay for anything and both people have to fix their cars themselves. God forbid one or more people get hurt.

Compare and contrast Contributory negligence and Comparative Negligence?
Contributory negligence is a legal defense that completely bars a plaintiff from recovering damages if they are found to have contributed to their own injury, even minimally. On the other hand, comparative negligence allows a plaintiff to still recover damages even if they are partially responsible for their injury, with the compensation reduced by their degree of fault. Thus, contributory negligence is more strict and less forgiving than comparative negligence.
