pure rule (Comparative Negligence)

Comparative Negligence is a legal principle which states that both parties in a tort case share responsibility for the injury or damage that has been inflicted. This means that each party can be found to bear some degree of fault for the injury or damage, and that the injured party can recover compensation for their losses only in proportion to their degree of fault. For example, if a plaintiff suing for negligence is found to be 30% at fault for their injury, then any damages that are awarded to them will be reduced to reflect their contribution to the incident.
