Best Answer

Comparative and Contributory Negligence. Different laws in different states. In a Comparative state, the court compares the degree that a person may be responsible for their own loss. You have a loss of $1,000- but you share half the responsibility for the loss- you get half the amount, or $500. In a Contributory state, if you contributed- in any way or degree- to the loss, you get nothing. You have a loss of $1,000, but you were 10% responsible for the loss. You get nothing.
