In a negligence action, common defenses include contributory negligence, where the defendant argues that the plaintiff's own actions contributed to the injury, potentially reducing or barring recovery. Another defense is assumption of risk, which claims the plaintiff knowingly engaged in an activity that carried inherent dangers. Additionally, the defendant may assert that there was no duty of care owed or that the standard of care was met, demonstrating that their actions did not constitute negligence. Lastly, some jurisdictions allow for a statute of limitations defense, arguing that the plaintiff filed their claim too late.
