Comparative negligence is a tort principle used by the court to reduce the amount of damages that a plaintiff can recover in a negligence-based claim ing to the degree of negligence each party contributed to the incident.

“Partial” comparative negligence – Under a partial comparative negligence scheme, the plaintiff may recover the percentage of damages for which the defendant is liable only if plaintiff's own negligence is less than a certain threshold level.

Comparative Negligence For example, if a plaintiff's total damages are $100,000, and the plaintiff is 25% at fault, the plaintiff can recover $75,000 of the damages and will be responsible for $25,000. Even if the plaintiff is 99% responsible for the accident, he or she can recover 1% of the damages.

Modified Comparative Negligence: Under the 50 percent bar rule: the plaintiff may not recover damages if they are found to be 50% or more at fault. Under the 51 percent bar rule: the plaintiff may not recover damages if they are assigned 51% or more of the fault.

There are two types of comparative negligence that are used when assessing liability: Pure comparative negligence and partial comparative negligence. Pure comparative negligence allows the plaintiff to recover even if his negligence is greater than defendant's negligence.

The elements are (1) duty (2) breach (3) causation and (4) damages. [1] Once the elements have been established, the question then shifts to whether the defendant may still avoid liability by asserting a negligence defense.

For example, where plaintiff has suffered $100,000 worth of damage, but his own negligence contributed to 90% of his injuries, plaintiff will be allowed to collect $10,000 under a pure comparative negligence theory. See Li v. Yellow Cab, 13 Cal. 3d 804 (1975) .
