Answer

Comparative negligence.

Explanation:

The judge has applied the doctrine of comparative negligence in this trial.

Comparative negligence states that when an accident occurs, the fault and or negligence of each party involved is based upon their respective contributions to the accident. Insurers can use this to pay claims in order of assigned blame.

Comparative negligence is mostly used to assign blame in auto accidents. If two drivers both break the same traffic laws in an accident, as in the case of Stephanie and Britta. Many carriers assign blame each driver on a percentage basis, such as with Stephanie and Britta (80/20).

If two parties are involved in a car accident, the insurers use comparative negligence to assign fault. Determination of fault in an accident is a major aspect of insurance.

In this case the damages are awarded proportionally based on the degrees of determined negligence. Even though Britta is found less responsible, she still has a percentage of the blame assigned to her. The percentage of negligence attached to Britta, the less responsible party is called contributory negligence. In this trial resulting from a car accident the contributory negligence would be, Britta's failure to exercise responsibility over her safety. In this case, Stephanie could have used contributory negligence as a defense.

Answer:

Comparative negligence

Explanation:

comparative negligence is a principle of tort that states that when an accident occurs the negligence or fault of the accident is based on each party's contribution to the cause of the accident and therefore the compensation for damages is shared between these parties as exemplified in the question above.

Comparative negligence differs from contributory negligence by the fact that the plaintiff isn't settled under contributory negligence.

Question 1 what are some examples of security goals that you may have for an organization? check all that apply.
frozen [14]

- to prevent unauthorized access to customer credentials

- to protect customer data from unauthorized access; These are super important goals. Safeguards or systems should be implemented to help achieve them. It's important to distinguish between a discrete goal and the <u>mechanisms </u>or defense systems that help you to achieve these goals. Defenses on their own aren't goals, but they allow us to work towards these goals.

What is mechanisms ?

A mechanism in engineering is a tool that converts desired output forces and movements from input forces and movements. In general, mechanisms are made up of moving parts, such as cams and followers, belts and chain drives, and gears and gear trains.

"A combination of resisting things so arranged that by their means the mechanical forces of nature can be compelled to execute work accompanied by definite definable motion," is how the German scientist Franz Reuleaux describes a machine. His usage of the word "machine" in this context is typically taken to refer to a mechanism.

Power is defined as the product of force and motion, and power is controlled by a mechanism to produce a desired combination of forces and motion.
