Karsten Kragh has written: 'Contributory negligence' -- subject(s): Contributory Negligence
Contributory negligence in a civil case is a familiar term used in many vehicle accident cases. Who is at fault plays a major role in contributory negligence during a civil case.
Contributory negligence: In relation to claims for negligently caused personal injury and death, contributory negligence is failure by a person (typically the plaintiff) to take reasonable care for his or her own safety, which contributes to the harm the person suffers.
Contributory negligence is a rule of law that has been largely abolished in the U.S., as it deemed that a plaintiff who was even partially at fault for the incident, due to his own negligence, could not recover any damages from the defendant, who supposedly caused the incident. Contributory negligence refers to some amount of negligence on the part of the plaintiff, without which the incident would not have occurred. To explore this concept, consider the following contributory negligence definition.
Yes it is.
Contributory Negligence
This is known as contributory negligence or comparative negligence. Contributory negligence applies when the plaintiff's own actions contributed to their injuries, potentially barring them from recovering any damages. Comparative negligence, on the other hand, allows for a partial recovery based on the degree of fault attributed to the plaintiff.

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.
