Yes, contributory negligence is a legal defense that can be used to argue that a plaintiff's own negligence contributed to their injuries or damages, which may absolve the defendant from liability. It is not technically a defense in some jurisdictions that have adopted comparative negligence systems instead.
It is an affirmative defence.
The preferred defense in a negligence suit is to argue that the defendant did not owe a duty of care to the plaintiff, did not breach that duty, or that the plaintiff's own actions contributed to their injury (contributory negligence or assumption of risk). Additionally, the defendant may argue that the plaintiff's injury was not directly caused by their actions.
The major defenses to negligence include contributory negligence, comparative negligence, assumption of risk, and statutory limitations. Contributory negligence asserts that the plaintiff's own actions contributed to the harm. Comparative negligence reduces the plaintiff's damages based on their percentage of fault. Assumption of risk occurs when the plaintiff voluntarily accepts the known risks. Statutory limitations vary by jurisdiction and may limit the time frame for filing a negligence claim.
Causation is important in negligence cases to establish a direct link between the defendant's actions or omissions and the harm suffered by the plaintiff. It helps determine whether the defendant's conduct was the actual cause of the injury or damage that occurred. Without proving causation, it is difficult to hold someone legally responsible for negligence.

Additionally, defenses like lack of duty, causation, and immunity can also be raised in negligence cases.
